News: 3 days agoGoff completed 15 of 30 pass attempts for 240 yards, two touchdowns and five interceptions while adding one rushing attempt for two yards in Sunday's 26-23 win over the Texans.

Spin: The Lions somehow escaped with a victory despite Goff throwing a career-high five interceptions on Sunday Night Football. The 29-year-old threw more picks in this contest than he had over his previous eight starts combined this season. Goff's performance stings the most from a fantasy perspective, as his five turnovers likely cut into any positive gains made from his passing totals. The Novato, CA native will look to get back to his efficient ways when Detroit returns home to face a floundering Jacksonville squad next Sunday.

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.
