News: 4 days agoGoff completed 34 of 55 passes for 307 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Buccaneers. He also rushed twice for five yards.

Spin: Goff's first pass of the game was picked off, but he bounced back with a 50-yard completion to Jameson Williams on his next pass to set up a field goal and cut Tampa Bay's early lead in half. None of Goff's subsequent 53 passes went for more than 20 yards, as he compiled his way over the 300-yard mark but finished with just 5.6 yards per attempt after throwing for only 217 yards on 7.8 YPA in Week 1. Goff will look to put the slow start behind him in a Week 3 road game against the Cardinals.

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.
