Draft note

by John Paulsen

Jared Goff finished as the fantasy QB8 last year and the key pieces are still in place. Amon-Ra St. Brown, Sam LaPorta, Jahmyr Gibbs all return, and the up-and-coming Jameson Williams will likely replace the departed Josh Reynolds. Ben Johnson returns as offensive coordinator. I don’t love the idea of having Goff as my only quarterback since his home/away splits are so extreme. Over the past two seasons, Goff has averaged 21.3 fantasy points per game at home versus just 13.9 per game on the road. This is similar to what we saw with Drew Brees late in his career in New Orleans. As the QB12 off the board, Goff can be easily paired with another quarterback to form a potent committee with the intention of only starting Goff at home or in his very favorable road matchups.

Lions signing QB Jared Goff to four-year extension

The Detroit Lions are signing quarterback Jared Goff to a four-year, $212 million contract extension that includes $170 million guaranteed, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday.

The deal makes the 2016 No. 1 pick the highest-paid player in franchise history.

Fantasy Impact:

The Lions lock up veteran QB Goff, and this is good news for the continued growth of Amon-Ra St. Brown, Sam LaPorta, and the rest of the offense. The quarterback should be considered a strong QB2 option and will have streaming opportunities throughout 2024.

DET QB Jared Goff - 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Coming off of a four-year, $212M extension and back-to-back seasons right on the cusp of 4,500 yards and 30 touchdowns, Jared Goff is locked into one of the best offenses in the league right now. Gone are the early days of his Rams career when he was chucking the ball deep; he is now part of low-aDOT/low-mistake football that allows his pass-catchers to earn yards after the catch. The Lions have ranked top-5 in YAC since 2022, which creates a very solid fantasy floor for the QB. If Jameson Williams can grow into an explosive WR2, that floor gets closer to QB12 than QB15.

Fantasy Downside
With a very powerful running game at the Lions' disposal, Goff's "huge" weeks are few and far between. Over the last two seasons, Goff has had 3+ touchdowns on eight occasions, with only three popping up in '23. He's also as close to a "zero" in the run game as humanly possible, accruing only 21 yards on the ground over 17 games last year.

2024 Bottom Line
Jared Goff has played himself out of the stigma that he's a replacement-level NFL quarterback, but that's not entirely true in fantasy terms. Goff could lead his team to the Super Bowl in 2024 but still remain a high-to-mid QB2 for our purposes. He'll have weeks where we need him in the streaming streets, but if you have to take him as a top-12 option in your league, it's a pass.
