Should I Start Jared Goff?

Saturday, October 24, 6:10 AM

Across five games so far in 2026, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has completed 67% of his pass attempts for 1,485 yards, 12 touchdowns, and zero interceptions. While Goff does not provide any fantasy production with his legs, he's been one of the more productive throwers of the football in the NFL this season. Detroit's brutal defense has also forced Goff and the Lions' offense into pass-heavy game scripts. The 32-year-old is currently averaging 38.2 pass attempts per contest. In Week 7, Goff and the Lions could find themselves in another high-scoring affair against the Green Bay Packers. Green Bay has defended the pass well in 2026, ranking third in the NFL in yards per pass attempt allowed (6.0) and eighth in passing touchdowns allowed (seven). Still, Goff's production this year and the potential for a favorable game script make him a must-start quarterback for fantasy managers in Week 7.
