Jared Goff Delivers Season-Best Fantasy Performance In Blowout Win
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff lit up the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 11, completing 24-of-29 passes (82.8%) for 412 yards and four touchdowns in a dominant 52-6 victory. Goff also added 21 rushing yards on four attempts, rebounding from his five-interception performance in Week 10 with a perfect passer rating against a struggling Jaguars defense. This was by far Goff's best fantasy outing of the season, making him the overall QB1 for the week heading into Sunday night and the No. 3 fantasy scorer overall. Goff will aim to continue his MVP-caliber campaign in Week 12 as the Lions travel to face the Indianapolis Colts, who narrowly defeated the Jets in Week 11.
Jared Goff Set To Bounce Back In Favorable Week 11 Matchup Against Jaguars
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff enters Week 11 with a prime opportunity to rebound against a struggling Jacksonville Jaguars defense. While Goff's fantasy production has been underwhelming this season, finishing under 15 points in five games, this matchup offers a chance for a turnaround. The Jaguars allow the third-most fantasy points to quarterbacks, the third-most passing yards per game (271.9), and the fourth-most passing touchdowns per game (1.9). Despite tossing five interceptions in Week 10, that performance appears to be an outlier. With Jacksonville surrendering 26.4 points per game (sixth-most in the NFL), Goff should have opportunities to exploit their defensive vulnerabilities. While an early blowout could shift Detroit to a run-heavy approach, the Lions' high-scoring offense will likely lean on Goff to set the tone early. Consider him a low-end QB1 with upside this week.
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff struggled in fantasy during the team's 26-23 victory over the Houston Texans in Week 10. Goff threw for 240 yards and two touchdowns but completed just 15 of 30 passes, marking a season-low 50% completion rate. He also threw five interceptions which certainly put a damper on any solid numbers he posted this week. This was his third single-digit fantasy performance of the season and his second consecutive game with under 10 points. Despite Detroit's seven-game winning streak, Goff's fantasy output has been inconsistent and far from elite. He'll look to bounce back in Week 11 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Texans D/ST Records Five Interceptions In Week 10 Loss
The Houston Texans defense/special teams intercepted Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff a whopping five times on Sunday, but it wasn't quite enough as the Lions came back to win on the final play of regulation by a score of 26-23. The defense did not record a sack in the defeat, during which the Houston offense failed to score in the second half after being ahead 23-7 at halftime. Houston will look to snap a two-game losing streak with a visit to the reeling Dallas Cowboys in Week 11.
Jared Goff Offers High-End QB2 Upside In Week 10 Matchup Against Texans
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff enters Week 10 against the Houston Texans offering reliable but modest upside as a fantasy play. Goff ranks second among qualifying quarterbacks in yards per attempt and seventh in fantasy points per dropback, showcasing solid efficiency throughout the season. However, Houston's pass defense has been tough at times over the last few weeks, which could encourage Detroit to lean even more on their run game. That said, the Texans have struggled with pass touchdowns, ranking 32nd in pass touchdown rate allowed and giving up the 10th-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks. With Jameson Williams back from suspension (PED violation), Goff has a versatile set of playmakers to leverage, keeping him in the low-end QB1/QB2 mix this week especially helpful with four teams on bye.
Jared Goff Posts Low Fantasy Output, But Efficiency Helps Secure Detroit’s Win
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff delivered a subpar fantasy outing in the team's 24-14 win over the Green Bay Packers, finishing with just 9.6 fantasy points his second-lowest total of the season and only his second game without reaching double digits. Despite the weather and a limited passing workload, Goff completed 18 of 22 passes for an efficient 81.8% completion rate. He totaled 145 yards with one touchdown and kept his streak of five straight games without an interception intact. While the game didn't yield high fantasy numbers for Goff, his consistency and ability to manage the game helped secure another win for the Lions, solidifying their spot atop both the division and conference standings. The Lions will look to keep their momentum going against the Houston Texans in Week 10.
Jared Goff Primed For Efficiency Against Green Bay’s Secondary
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff is positioned for a productive outing against the Green Bay Packers in Week 9. While Week 8 saw a modest 85 passing yards from Goff, Detroit's ground game was the primary scoring method. Over his last three games, Goff has demonstrated impressive efficiency, completing 80% of his passes for 680 yards, eight touchdowns, and zero interceptions, securing his status as a reliable QB1. The Packers' defense ranks 29th in blitz rate and allows one of the league's higher yards per completion, presenting an opportunity for Goff to connect on longer throws. They've also shown vulnerability by conceding the fifth-highest success rate per dropback, making this matchup favorable. With his accuracy and the Lions' overall offensive firepower, Goff remains a strong top-10 QB option this week.
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff (ankle) returned to practice on Thursday as a full participant. This is a great sign for Goff as he sat out during Wednesday's practice after rolling his ankle. Seeing return to practice the next day puts him in great position to suit up this weekend. The 30-year-old has led the Lions to five straight victories since falling to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 2. During this span, Goff has held a stellar 83.0% completion rate while averaging 23.0 PPR points per game. Goff remains a solid QB1 option in all formats this weekend when he faces the Green Bay Packers who have allowed the 18th-most points to opposing QBs this season.
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff (ankle) is not practicing on Wednesday due to an ankle injury. The veteran said his ankle is sore, but he expects to be fine. Goff posted just 85 passing yards in the Week 8 blowout win over the Tennessee Titans, but he tossed three touchdown passes. The former No. 1 overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft has at least two touchdowns in each of his last five games and has been one of the best quarterbacks in the league in recent weeks. It would be a surprise if he misses the Week 9 game against the Green Bay Packers, but fantasy managers of Goff and the Detroit pass-catchers should monitor his status. Assuming Goff is good to go, he'll face a tough matchup against a Green Bay defense that has surrendered the 11th-fewest fantasy points per game to QBs. If he's at risk of being out, second-year quarterback Hendon Hooker would draw the start.
Jared Goff's Efficiency Leads Lions To Another Victory In Week 7 Thriller
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff delivered another strong performance in Week 7, helping lead the team to a 31-29 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Goff was highly efficient, completing 22 of 25 passes for an 88% completion rate, accumulating 280 yards and two touchdowns. His accuracy and decision-making were on full display, keeping the Lions' offense moving throughout the game. Goff's impressive outing earned him a Top-5 fantasy QB finish for the week going into Sunday night, reinforcing his status as a reliable starter. The Lions will focus on a home matchup against the Tennessee Titans as Goff is a low-end QB1 heading into Week 8.
