Jared Goff Fantasy

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff had a rough beginning to his time in Detroit in 2021, but he finished the season on a high note and might have earned the starting role heading into the 2022 season, especially considering that this year's QB class in the draft is weak. Goff's 91.5 passer rating set a franchise record for a QB's first year with the team, and he had a 107.1 passer rating in five healthy games with head coach Dan Campbell calling the plays. The 27-year-old did fumble nine times, which was 10th-most in the league, but only two of those fumbles came in the second half. Goff finished with 3,245 yards and completed 67.2% of his passes for 19 touchdowns and eight interceptions. He won't suddenly become a great downfield passer, but if he sticks as the starting QB in Detroit and the Lions upgrade his weapons, he could be a serviceable fantasy backup next season.

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff returned to action for Sunday's victory over Green Bay, slinging two touchdowns while going 21-for-30 for 238 yards in his final outing of the year. Factoring in his three-touchdown, zero-interception performance in Week 15, Goff concluded the year with a flurry, setting the stage for a potential revival come 2022. It was announced after the game that the Lions and offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn would be parting ways, with whomever takes over having multiple weapons at their immediate disposal. While Goff's numbers dipped from his tenure with the Rams, he stands to be a deep season-long option next year with Amon-Ra St. Brown and T.J. Hockenson as top-tier pass-catching options.

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff (knee) will play on Sunday against the Packers. The veteran was limited at practice during the week and wasn't sure if he'd be able to suit up for the season finale. Nonetheless, with Green Bay potentially resting some of its starters in Week 18, Goff may have a much clearer path toward fantasy efficiency. Josh Reynolds (thigh) is also active, so Goff should be considered a sleeper DFS option in GPP formats.
