Scouting report

LA QB Jared Goff - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. Cardinals (game in London)

Jared Goff completed 11-of-21 passes for 124 yards, with 1 touchdown and 0 interceptions in the Rams’ Week 6 win over the Jaguars. Goff left some fantasy points on the field when he missed on what would have been a 50+ yard touchdown pass to Sammy Watkins. While Goff is light years ahead of where he was a year ago as a rookie, he struggled in his last two starts (albeit against Seattle and Jacksonville).

Looking ahead to Week 7, Goff has a nice matchup versus a Cardinals team that ranks as fantasy’s No. 25 defense against quarterbacks. Ranked as our QB14 for Week 7, Goff is a streaming option for desperate owners in deeper leagues. He has a low ceiling but a high floor.

LA QB Jared Goff - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Jacksonville Jaguars

Jared Goff completed 22-of-47 passes for 288 yards with 0 touchdowns and 2 interceptions in the Rams’ Week 5 loss to the Seahawks. Goff also lost a fumble in a rough performance overall, although he did lead the Rams deep into Seattle territory with under a minute left to play. Had Cooper Kupp not had a pass go off his hands on a diving attempt in the end zone, the Rams probably win the game despite turning the ball over 5 times.

Goff has looked like a different quarterback under Sean McVay’s guidance, but he’s still not on the fantasy radar. He’s averaging just 13.2 points per game and has a tough matchup on Sunday against a Jacksonville team that intercepted Ben Roethlisberger 5 times last week in Pittsburgh. Ranked as our No. 23 quarterback in Week 6, avoid Goff on Sunday against the No. 1 fantasy defense in the league.

LA QB Jared Goff - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Seattle Seahawks

Jared Goff completed 21-of-36 passes for 255 yards and 2 touchdowns in the Rams' Week 4 win over the Cowboys. Sean McVay hasn't asked Goff to make many throws into tight windows, which has built the second-year quarterback's confidence. He took what Dallas' defense gave him, routinely finding Cooper Kupp and Todd Gurley on short throws. After he was lost as a rookie, Goff looks component this season under McVay.

At some point this season, Goff will make for a solid streaming option for fantasy owners dealing with bye-week situations. But this is not that week. The Rams will host the Seahawks on Sunday and Seattle owns the No. 10 defense versus fantasy quarterbacks. Ranked as our QB19 for Week 5, avoid Goff this weekend.

LA QB Jared Goff - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Dallas Cowboys

Jared Goff had a career game last week, completing 22-of-28 passes for 292 yards and 3 touchdowns in the Rams’ win over the 49ers. The second-year QB has thrived in new coach Sean McVay’s system, posting a QB rating of 118.2 through three weeks. For comparison, Goff’s QB rating as a rookie was 63.6. He shredded a San Francisco defense last week that didn’t drum up any sort of pressure.

That said, Goff still isn’t a reliable fantasy option. Ranked as our QB26, avoid Goff against the Cowboys, who harassed Carson Palmer in Arizona on Monday night.

LA QB Jared Goff - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at San Francisco

After an excellent season debut, Jared Goff took a step backward last Sunday versus Washington. Goff completed 15-of-25 passes for 224 yards with a touchdown and an interception in the Rams' Week 2 loss to Washington. His lone interception ended the Rams' comeback attempts with under two minutes remaining in the game.

There's no question Goff looks more competent under new coach Sean McVay, but he has ways to go before he's fantasy relevant. Goff is a streaming option depending on the matchup, but this week the Rams will play the 49ers on Thursday night. San Francisco ranks as fantasy's No. 13 defense against quarterbacks, so avoid Goff this week. He ranks as our QB25 for Week 3.

LA QB Jared Goff - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Washington

Jared Goff completed 21-of-29 passes for 306 yards and a touchdown while also adding 1 carry for 2 yards in the Rams' Week 1 blowout win over the Colts. Goff looked like a different quarterback, standing tall in the pocket and throwing with confidence in Sean McVay's system. Goff immediately showed a connection with former Bills receiver Sammy Watkins, who caught all 5 passes Goff threw his way. Now that he's playing for a head coach who isn't stuck in the 50s offensively, perhaps Goff will start living up to the billing of a No. 1 overall pick.

Then again, the Rams did play a Colts team that will be fighting for next year's No. 1 overall pick, so let's not hyperventilate here. Goff could become a streaming option this season, but, for now, leave him on your waiver wire until he proves he can post those kind of numbers consistently. He ranks as our QB23 for Week 2 and will face a Washington defense that is No. 24 against fantasy quarterbacks.

LA QB Jared Goff - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Indianapolis Colts

Jared Goff struggled mightily as a rookie in 2016, throwing for just 1,089 yards, 5 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions in seven starts. The good news is he'll have a new left tackle protecting his blindside in free agent addition Andrew Whitworth, a competent playcaller in new head coach Sean McVay, as well as a new No. 1 receiver in trade acquisition Sammy Watkins.

Despite a better surrounding cast, Goff is not fantasy relevant. Some believe he's a sleeper in deeper leagues and he'll be a cheap option in DFS all season, but he needs to prove he can run an NFL offense. For now, he ranks as our No. 23 QB for the Rams' Week 1 matchup versus the Colts. Even though Indianapolis ranks as fantasy's No. 29 defense against quarterbacks, avoid Goff.
