DET QB Jared Goff - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Vikings

Jared Goff isn't viable in fantasy leagues aside from desperate situations in SuperFlex formats. He takes on a Vikings defense that ranks 12th in Schedule-Adjusted Fantasy Points per Game, so this isn't an easy matchup. You also have to consider that Goff will be without his best weapon in D'Andre Swift. It's tough to envision a scenario where Goff goes off in this spot.

DET QB Jared Goff - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Browns

Jared Goff missed Wednesday and Thursday's practices with an oblique injury, putting his status in doubt for Sunday's game. If he can't go, Tim Boyle would take the reins at quarterback. If Goff can play, he's off the fantasy radar because he's been one of the worst starting quarterbacks in the NFL this season. The Browns' pass rush led by Myles Garrett would give him fits in this matchup.

DET QB Jared Goff - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Steelers

Jared Goff has been one of the worst quarterbacks in fantasy football, with four finishes of QB27 or lower in his last six games. He's only averaging 249.4 passing yards per game at 6.5 yards per attempt with eight touchdowns and six interceptions. The only way I'd consider starting him is if I was desperate in a SuperFlex league.

Goff goes up against a Steelers defense that ranks 14th in aFPA to quarterbacks, making this a tough matchup. It's hard to see Goff putting together a strong performance in a poor game environment with a 42.5-point total. The only path for that to happen is if the Lions are forced to play catch-up, but we saw them fall flat in that situation against the Eagles in Week 8.

DET QB Jared Goff - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Eagles

Goff played a bit better against the Rams, completing 22-of-36 passes for 268 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions, but there's still no way we can trust him as a fantasy option aside from SuperFlex leagues. He's currently QB28 in fantasy points per game. Goff would need to rack up production in garbage time in order to be fantasy-relevant.

He goes up against an Eagles defense that ranks 5th in aFPA to quarterbacks, so this is a tough matchup. The Eagles are a run-funnel defense, so there's a better chance that the Lions try to attack this team on the ground, resulting in limited volume for Goff. I wouldn't even start Goff as a DFS tournament punt play.

DET QB Jared Goff - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Rams

Jared Goff is only worth starting if you're desperate in SuperFlex leagues, as he's been one of the worst starting quarterbacks in the NFL. Goff turned in another dud against the Bengals, throwing for only 202 yards (4.8 yards per attempt) with one interception. The Lions' offense hasn't scored 20+ points since Week 1. Head coach Dan Campbell publicly called out Goff for his performance.

This is a tough matchup against a Rams defense that ranks eighth in aFPA to quarterbacks. You're likely going to see Goff under duress while facing pressure from Aaron Donald and company, resulting in several dump-offs and intermediate passes. If Goff keeps playing this poorly, we could see him benched at some point.

DET QB Jared Goff - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Bengals

Goff has finished as QB33, QB22, and QB30 in the last three weeks, demonstrating how low his weekly floor can be. This has been against the Ravens, Bears, and Vikings, so it's not like he was facing a slew of tough matchups. The Lions' offense is struggling right now, averaging only 16.75 points in their last four games.

Goff goes up against a Bengals defense that ranks 26th in aFPA to quarterbacks, so perhaps this can be an opportunity for him to break out of this slump. Goff will need tight end T.J. Hockenson to be healthy for this game, as the third-year tight end is currently banged up with a knee injury. It's hard to count on Goff as anything more than a desperation play in SuperFlex formats.

DET QB Jared Goff - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Vikings

Goff has had a quietly solid fantasy season, ranking as QB3, QB15, QB30, and QB22 so far this season, establishing himself as a potential streamer in the right matchup. He's averaging 40.25 pass attempts, giving him enough volume to make an impact. We can project this to continue with the Lions likely to continue to be forced into pass-heavy game scripts while playing from behind.

Goff goes up against a Vikings defense that ranks 12th in aFPA this season. This defense is allowing 8.7 yards per attempt (29th). The game has a 49-point total, so this is a projected shootout. This is the spot where Goff is a viable streamer. He should be able to provide solid production against an exploitable Vikings defense.
