Goff completed 28 of 42 passes for 279 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 34-27 overtime win over the Giants.
The veteran QB struggled early, but Goff led the Lions to 10 points in the fourth quarter to complete a late comeback, before Jahmyr Gibbs broke free for a 69-yard touchdown run on the first play of OT. Goff has an 8:2 TD:INT in four games since Detroit's bye, but he'll face what should be a tougher test in Week 13 during a Thanksgiving clash with the Packers.

Lions' Jared Goff: Start of the Week
Rotowire
Jared Goff was bad in Week 11 at Philadelphia with 14.1 Fantasy points, but that was expected. The Eagles defense is tough, and Goff was playing outdoors. This week, Goff should go off at home against the Giants, who are No. 3 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. Five of the past six opposing quarterbacks against the Giants scored at least 21.7 Fantasy points, including two in a row with Caleb Williams and Jordan Love. In their past five games, the Giants have allowed 11 passing touchdowns and no interceptions. The Lions are also 10.5-point favorites at home, and this is typically when Goff thrives. I love him as a top-five Fantasy quarterback in all leagues in Week 12.

Lions' Jared Goff: Career-worst accuracy in loss
Rotowire
Goff completed 14 of 37 passes for 255 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 16-9 loss to the Eagles.
Goff looked uncomfortable throughout the game, and his 37.8 percent completion rate was the worst of his career in a single contest, per Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News. Most of his yardage came after the catch from Jahmyr Gibbs and Jameson Williams, the latter of whom accounted for Goff's only touchdown on a 40-yard catch and run. It was an abysmal performance from Goff, but he's still thrown for multiple touchdowns in five of his last seven games, and he should bounce back in Week 12 with a home matchup against the Giants.

Lions' Jared Goff: Picks apart Commanders
Rotowire
Goff completed 25 of 33 passes for 320 yards, three touchdowns and zero interceptions in Sunday's 44-22 win over the Commanders.
Goff topped 300 yards for the second time this season thanks to a particularly efficient performance. In addition to completing more than 75 percent of his passes, Goff tallied three gains of more than 20 yards while throwing for a pair of 14-yard touchdowns and one of nine. Goff now has multiple passing scores in six of his nine games on the campaign, and he's averaged more than 7.5 yards per attempt in three straight matchups.

Lions' Jared Goff: QBs to Start
Rotowire
We usually like to avoid Goff when he's on the road, but he scored at least 20.8 Fantasy points in his past two away games against the Bengals and Chiefs. He should have another solid road outing in Week 10 against the Commanders, who are No. 3 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks and are dealing with injuries in their secondary. Three quarterbacks in a row have scored at least 28.9 Fantasy points against Washington, and Goff should be a top-10 quarterback in all leagues in Week 10.

Lions' Jared Goff: Solid day in loss
Rotowire
Goff completed 25 of 37 passes for 284 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Lions' 27-24 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
The Lions' offense wasn't as efficient as usual, but Goff still finished with a fantasy-friendly stat line while working around five sacks. The veteran signal-caller facilitated a pair of 97-yard efforts for Sam LaPorta and Amon-Ra St. Brown, and he connected with LaPorta and Jameson Williams for scoring tosses of 40 and 37 yards, respectively. Goff's yardage total was his second highest of the season, and he's now thrown multiple touchdown passes in four of the last five games heading into a Week 10 road matchup against the Commanders.

Lions' Jared Goff: QBs to Start
Rotowire
Goff had a down game at home in Week 7 against Tampa Bay with just 12.3 Fantasy points, and he's now scored 16.7 Fantasy points or less in each of his past two games in Detroit. But he should get back on track in Week 9 against the Vikings, who have allowed three quarterbacks in a row to score at least 20.1 Fantasy points, including two in a row of Jalen Hurts and Justin Herbert going over 30 points. Goff has also scored at least 22.8 Fantasy points in two of his past three games against Minnesota, and he should do well against the Vikings once again in Week 9.

Lions' Jared Goff: Overcomes two TOs in MNF win
Rotowire
Goff completed 20 of 29 pass attempts for 241 yards, one touchdown and one interception while adding two rush attempts for seven yards and a lost fumble in Monday's 24-9 win over the Buccaneers.
Goff was able to lead his team to victory on Monday Night Football, but it came at the expense of his first multi-turnover game of the season. It also was the veteran signal-caller's third time scoring one touchdown or less this year. Goff has thrown 12 touchdowns to just one interception in his four other starts, so his whole body of work has been positive as Detroit enters its Week 8 bye. The 30-year-old should continue to be treated as a starting-level option in fantasy when the Lions host the Vikings on Sunday, Nov. 2.

Lions' Jared Goff: QBs to Start
Rotowire
This should be a great week for Goff. The Buccaneers have allowed 688 passing yards in the past two games against Sam Darnold and Mac Jones, and four quarterbacks this season have scored at least 20.7 Fantasy points against Tampa Bay. Goff has scored at least 20.8 Fantasy points in his past two games against the Bengals and Chiefs, and both of those were on the road. At home, Goff is averaging 30.3 Fantasy points per game this season, albeit in two outings against Chicago and Cleveland. In four career meetings against the Buccaneers, Goff is averaging 388.3 passing yards, with seven touchdowns and seven interceptions, and he's passed for at least 307 yards in each outing.

Lions' Jared Goff: Falls short at Arrowhead
Rotowire
Goff completed 23 of 29 passes for 203 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 30-17 loss to the Chiefs. He added one rush for seven yards.
Goff had an interesting start to the game, as he had a touchdown catch nullified by a penalty on Detroit's opening possession. He was out-dueled by Patrick Mahomes from there, but he still turned in a decent performance, highlighted by three completions at least 20 yards -- including a 22-yard touchdown connection with Jameson Williams. Goff now has multiple scores in each of his last three games.

Lions' Jared Goff: QBs to Sit
Rotowire
Goff was excellent outdoors in Week 5 at Cincinnati with 26.1 Fantasy points, but he faced a terrible defense and thrived. In his other two games outdoors at Green Bay in Week 1 and at Baltimore in Week 3, he combined for 27.5 Fantasy points, and I expect him to struggle this week at Kansas City. The Chiefs have allowed multiple passing touchdowns in a game just once this season, which was Justin Herbert in Week 1. And Herbert is the lone quarterback with more than 225 passing yards against Kansas City this year. Goff also passed for just 253 yards and one touchdown in his lone visit to Kansas City in his career in 2023. He is only worth starting in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues in Week 6.

Lions' Jared Goff: Efficient in win over Cincy
Rotowire
Goff completed 19 of 23 passes for 258 yards, three touchdowns and zero interceptions in Sunday's 37-24 win over the Bengals. He also had two rushes for minus-2 yards while losing a fumble.
Goff took advantage of a favorable matchup to turn in an extremely efficient performance. He completed four passes of 20 or more yards and averaged over 10 yards per attempt for the second time this season. Goff also delivered touchdowns from 10, 20 and 12 yards to account for his second performance with at least three scores. He'll face a stiffer Week 6 challenge against the Chiefs.

Lions' Jared Goff: QBs to Start

Goff only has one game this season with more than 16.7 Fantasy points, and his Fantasy production has been limited in the past two games against Baltimore and Cleveland. This week, Goff should get back on track against the Bengals, who are No. 8 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. Trevor Lawrence, Carson Wentz and Bo Nix have all passed for at least two touchdowns against Cincinnati in three games in a row, with Lawrence and Nix each scoring at least 25.2 Fantasy points. Goff has top-10 upside in this matchup, even on the road.

Lions' Jared Goff: QBs to Sit
Rotowire
I hate to bet against Goff at home, and he scored 43.9 Fantasy points as the Start of the Week in Week 2 against the Bears in Detroit. But that Chicago defense was easy, and Cleveland's defense can be a nightmare. Lamar Jackson scored 33.9 Fantasy points against the Browns in Week 2, but Joe Burrow in Week 1 and Jordan Love in Week 3 were each held under 14 Fantasy points. Goff has scored fewer than 15 Fantasy points in each of his road games against the Packers and Ravens, and I expect him to be under 20 Fantasy points against Cleveland this week, even at home.

Lions' Jared Goff: Plays game-manager role on MNF
Rotowire
Goff completed 20 of 28 pass attempts for 202 yards and a touchdown while rushing four times for six yards in Monday's 38-30 win over Baltimore.
Goff failed to sniff last week's five-touchdown effort in Monday's primetime tilt, instead giving way to the running game to generate 218 yards of offense and four trips to the end zone. The Novato, CA native has already generated massive swings in production through just three weeks of action, making him a risky play in standard one-QB formats. Goff now will have to take on a brutal Cleveland defense Week 4, but at least Sunday's contest will be at home, where the signal-caller generally has better splits throughout his career.

Lions' Jared Goff: Bust Alert (Start/Sit)
Rotowire
I loved Goff as the Start of the Week in Week 2 against Chicago, and he delivered in a big way with 43.9 Fantasy points. The Lions bounced back after a bad loss at Green Bay in Week 1 when Goff scored just 12.9 Fantasy points on the road, and I'm not expecting a strong outing from Goff on the road again at Baltimore in Week 3. Goff has never done well against the Ravens with 713 passing yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions in three career meetings. Baltimore struggled against Josh Allen in Week 1 when he scored 42.8 Fantasy points, but the Ravens limited Joe Flacco to 10.8 Fantasy points in Week 2. Goff won't be that bad, but sub-20 Fantasy points is likely in this matchup, making him just a starter in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues.

Lions' Jared Goff: Throws five TDs in rout
Rotowire
Goff completed 23 of 28 passes for 334 yards with five touchdowns and no interceptions and added one rush for six yards in the Lions' 52-21 win over the Bears on Sunday.
Goff can usually be counted on for at least one major spike performance each campaign, and such an instance came early this season. The veteran signal-caller was nearly perfect while finishing with 156.0 QB rating, and he spread the ball around to eight different targets overall. Goff's scoring strikes went to Brock Wright (eight yards), Amon-Ra St. Brown (four, eight and four yards) and Jameson Williams (44 yards), helping the Lions' offense atone in spectacular fashion for its sleepy Week 1 performance against the Packers. Putting together a comparable encore could prove challenging, however, as the Lions travel to Baltimore to face the Ravens in a Week 3 showdown on Monday night, Sept. 22.

Lions' Jared Goff: Bust Alert (Start/Sit)
Rotowire
Goff scored 11.8 Fantasy points at Green Bay in Week 9 last year and has scored 13.4 points or less in three games in a row at Lambeau Field. Goff also scored 18.5 Fantasy points or less in four of eight road games in 2024. We'll see how much new addition Micah Parsons plays for the Packers, but this pass rush will challenge the revamped offensive line for the Lions. I like Goff in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues, but I would bench him in one-quarterback formats. And I'll take the under on his passing yards prop on FanDuel at 241.5 since he has passed for 224 yards or less in three games in a row at Green Bay.

Lions' Jared Goff: Not slated to play Friday
Rotowire
Goff is not in line to play in Friday's preseason contest against the Falcons, Christian Romo of the Detroit Free Press reports.
With Goff, who also didn't play in last Thursday's Hall of Fame Game against the Chargers, not slated to see action versus Atlanta, the report notes that Hendon Hooker is set to play the first half Friday, with Kyle Allen on track to play in the second half. Goff is entrenched as the Lions' starting QB ahead of Week 1, but according to Tim Twentyman of the team's official site, Hooker and Allen are in a close competition to back up Goff.
