News: 1 day agoGoff completed 23 of 32 passes for 336 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 34-17 win over the Bears. He added one rushing attempt for minus-1 yard.

Spin: Goff linked up with Jameson Williams for an 82-yard touchdown in the second quarter and added an eight-yard touchdown pass to Amon-Ra St. Brown in the final minute of the first half. Detroit took a 27-14 lead into the locker room, and Goff finished the first half with 254 passing yards. He stretched the lead to 20 with a 21-yard trick play touchdown pass to Sam LaPorta just 2:42 into the third quarter, which was Goff's career-high 33rd touchdown pass. Goff has thrown for 830 yards and eight touchdowns across his last two starts heading into a Week 17 Monday Night Football matchup against a 49ers team that has been mathematically eliminated from playoff contention.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Jared Goff returns as the Lions' starter after his best season in the Motor City. In 2023, he was second in passing yards, attempts and completions, and fourth in passing TDs. In fact, Goff is the only QB to have at least 4,400 passing yards and 29 passing TDs in each of the past two seasons. However, he offers virtually zero in the rushing department (94 total rushing yards over that same two-season span). As a result, Goff finished 10 weeks as QB12 or lower in fantasy points despite his passing prowess and Detroit's high-octane offense. Goff is best viewed as a mid-range QB2 in Detroit's run-first scheme.
