News: 1 day agoGoff completed 18 of 25 passes for 315 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 47-9 win over the Cowboys. He added three rushes for five yards.

Spin: The Lions played ahead for nearly the entire game, limiting Goff to 25 or fewer pass attempts for the third straight game. However, he overcame that with an exceptionally efficient day, including six completions that went for gains of at least 20 yards. Two of those were touchdowns, highlighted by a 52-yard pass on a trick play to Sam LaPorta early in the second quarter and a 37-yard toss to Jameson Williams one quarter later. Overall, Goff now has multiple touchdowns in three straight contests while averaging at least 8.7 yards per attempt in each. He'll head into a tough test in Week 7 against a Minnesota defense that has allowed the sixth-fewest yards per attempt to opposing quarterbacks.

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.
