NFL DRAFT ROOKIE GUIDE IS NOW LIVE!
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff had a monster 2023 season, throwing for 4,575 yards, 30 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. He led Detroit to the No. 3 seed in the NFC and the organization won two playoff games in a single postseason for the first time since 1957. On Wednesday, the team signed Pro Bowl wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and offensive tackle Penei Sewell to high-dollar four-year contract extensions, but Goff is reportedly not close to agreeing to a new long-term deal. According to Adam Schefter, no new deal is "imminent" as of now. This will be an interesting development to watch play out, as the former Los Angeles Rams No. 1 overall pick is entering the final year of his contract in the Motor City and could become a free agent next offseason.

According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, speaking on Sunday morning's episode of SportsCenter, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff is expected to receive a contract extension worth $45-50 million per year. The veteran signal-caller has been open about his fondness for Detroit. It appears the franchise is also pleased with his performance, considering the Lions made it to the NFC Championship and narrowly beat the 49ers to earn a trip to the Super Bowl. Without a doubt, Goff has been instrumental in turning things around for the Lions. He finished the 2023-24 campaign by amassing 4,575 yards, 30 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions, some of the best numbers of his career. From a fantasy standpoint, Goff's stock has never been higher, especially since he has plenty of weapons in his arsenal, including Amon-Ra St. Brown, who finished the year as one of the league's most potent wideouts. Nonetheless, both sides still have some things to work out, although a new deal could come soon.

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff and the team have been discussing a contract extension this offseason. Goff's representatives and the Detroit brass have been having ongoing contract discussions this offseason as the team looks to keep him in town for the foreseeable future. A Goff extension could make him one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the league if and when it gets done. Goff has just one year left on the four-year extension that he signed while still a member of the Los Angeles Rams. The Lions are also looking to extend star receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown as the team looks to keep their offensive core together moving forward.

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff completed 30 of his 43 passing attempts for 287 yards two touchdowns and no interceptions in the NFC Divisional win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It was another great playoff performance for the former No. 1 overall pick, and he will lead the organization into the NFC Championship game against the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers have been stingy against quarterbacks this year, but the Detroit offense is explosive in most matchups and the Lions' offensive line should match up well with the 49ers' strong defensive front.

The Detroit Lions are expected to "ramp up" contract extension talks with quarterback Jared Goff this upcoming offseason, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Goff has looked excellent in his third season with Detroit, completing 67.3 percent of his passes for 4,575 yards, 30 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. All the while, the 29-year-old has led the Lions to a historic playoff run, which continues Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Rapoport notes that while Goff was a throw-in piece to the Matthew Stafford trade in 2021, the Lions have always viewed him as a potential franchise cornerstone and now have the opportunity to extend him as such.
Jan 21, 2024 1:54 PM EST
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff was excellent in the Wild Card win over his former team, the Los Angeles Rams. He completed 22 of his 27 passing attempts, threw a touchdown, and did not commit a turnover. On Sunday, he should be in for another efficient outing against a Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense that surrendered the eighth-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks during the regular season. The Buccaneers love to blitz, which could either affect Goff negatively or lead to busted coverage that he can exploit. He has a 300-yard, three-touchdown ceiling in this matchup, so he's an intriguing DFS option in single-game and full-slate contests.
Jan 18, 2024 1:50 PM EST
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff completed 22 of his 27 passing attempts for 277 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions in the 24-23 win over the Los Angeles Rams. The former No. 1 overall pick by L.A. led the Lions to three straight 75-yard touchdown drives to begin the game. Although the offense stalled in the second half, he did enough to secure the franchise's first playoff win since January of 1992. Since the Dallas Cowboys lost this weekend, the Lions will host the Philadelphia Eagles or Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Divisional Round. Both teams have struggled to stop the pass this season, so he could be in for another big day next weekend.
Jan 15, 2024 9:13 AM EST
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff was excellent during the 2023 regular season, posting 4,375 passing yards, 30 passing touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. Now, he's set to face his former team in the Wild Card Round of the NFC Playoffs. Despite leading the Rams to three playoff and one Super Bowl appearance, he was traded for Matthew Stafford following the 2020 season. Now, the two are set to face off, and Goff should have success. The Rams have surrendered the sixth-most fantasy points per game this season. The Rams rank 24th in total sacks (41), while Detroit has allowed the 4th-fewest sacks (30) in 2023. Ultimately, as long as Goff doesn't get too caught up in the moment, he has plenty of upside at his $9,400 price tag in DraftKings single-game DFS contests.
Jan 11, 2024 3:04 PM EST
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff completed 23 of his 32 passing attempts for 320 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions in the Week 18 win over the Minnesota Vikings. The veteran signal-caller's regular season comes to an end with 4,575 passing yards, 30 passing touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. He will finish the 2023 campaign firmly as a QB1, and he likely played well enough this year to remain Detroit's franchise quarterback next year. Next week, he'll lead the Lions in a home playoff game in search of the first postseason win since the 1991 season for the organization.
Jan 7, 2024 4:45 PM EST
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has been hit-or-miss in recent weeks. The veteran threw five touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 15, but he has thrown just two touchdowns and two interceptions over his last two outings. Goff, a pure pocket passer, is dependent on touchdowns for big-time fantasy upside, and he's tossed at least two touchdowns in half of his 16 starts this season. With Detroit still in the race for the No. 2 seed in the NFC, they should play their starters as usual in the Week 18 meeting with the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings are a neutral matchup for quarterbacks, so Goff has plenty of upside on Sunday.
Jan 4, 2024 1:01 PM EST
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff threw for 271 yards, one touchdown, and two picks off 19-for-34 passing in the controversial, one-point loss to Dallas on Saturday night. The signal-caller had a magical five-touchdown effort versus the Broncos in Week 15. However, after throwing just one touchdown in Week 16 against Minnesota, Goff couldn't do much more in this one. At any rate, he still has played well enough for fantasy managers throughout the 2023-24 campaign, so he'll remain a serviceable option in the Week 18 rematch with Minnesota.
Dec 31, 2023 12:58 AM EST
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has been a mixed bag for fantasy football over the last three weeks. He threw one touchdown in Week 14, five touchdowns in Week 15, and one touchdown in Week 16. The Lions offense is as consistent as any unit in the NFL, but they have the second-most rushing touchdowns (24) among all teams, so Goff doesn't always post big fantasy numbers with passing touchdowns. However, the Week 17 game against the Dallas Cowboys could be a fantasy gold mine with a potential shootout brewing. The Cowboys have allowed the 13th-fewest fantasy points per game to quarterbacks, but the Lions have the offensive line to neutralize the Dallas pass rush, and Detroit will likely have to air it out to stay in the game. Start Goff on Saturday as a low-end QB1 with tons of upside.
Dec 28, 2023 2:00 PM EST
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff led the team to a division title in Week 16's 30-24 win over the Minnesota Vikings, completing 30-of-40 pass attempts for 257 yards and one touchdown. The fantasy line is not much reason for fanfare, but Lions fans will be celebrating after Goff engineered a clean game on the road to clinch the NFC North championship. Detroit put 30 points up on the scoreboard and consistently sustained drives but three of their scores came on rushing plays. The 29-year-old three-time Pro Bowler also didn't have to push the envelope on a day Minnesota repeatedly shot themselves in the foot, with Vikings signal-caller Nick Mullens turning it over four times. Fantasy managers will hope for more of a back-and-forth battle against the Dallas Cowboys to get a more fruitful stat line next Saturday, where Goff will be in the QB1 range for what could be a high-scoring affair.
Dec 25, 2023 2:07 AM EST
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff is coming off a five-touchdown performance against the Denver Broncos. His Week 15 showing marked the ninth time in 14 games that he has posted at least two touchdowns. He's been reliable for most of the 2023 season, and fantasy managers should be able to count on him in Week 16. On Sunday, he'll face a Minnesota Vikings defense that presents a neutral matchup for quarterbacks. It's a road game for Detroit, but it's indoors, where Goff is usually at his best. The Lions' offense continues to impress, so Goff carries a QB1 outlook into Week 16.
Dec 21, 2023 2:45 PM EST
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff completed 24 of 34 passes for 278 yards, five touchdowns, and zero interceptions during the team's Week 15 win over the Denver Broncos. In addition to playing turnover-free football, he also took just two sacks. All in all, the 29-year-old bounced back in a huge way following a tough showing versus Chicago. He showed once again that he can spread the ball around to his plethora of playmakers, moving the chains and finding the end zone. His total points rank him as a mid-range QB1 in fantasy football this season, and he should be started in most leagues versus the Minnesota Vikings next week.
Dec 17, 2023 8:58 AM EST
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff threw just one touchdown and two interceptions last week, snapping his run of QB1 fantasy production. In Week 15, he'll face the Denver Broncos, who are a neutral matchup for quarterbacks. The Broncos were shredded by quarterbacks early in the season, but they have limited Josh Allen and C.J. Stroud in two of their last four games. However, Goff usually plays better at home, which is where Saturday's contest takes place. Goff needs to rebound and deliver multiple touchdowns to pay off in fantasy football, but he always has that opportunity while throwing to star pass-catchers Sam LaPorta and Amon-Ra St. Brown. Consider him a high-end QB2 for Week 15.
Dec 14, 2023 3:16 PM EST
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff came into Week 14 throwing two touchdowns in four straight games. However, against the Chicago Bears, he completed just 20 of his 35 attempts for 161 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. It was his lowest yardage total and passer rating (54.6) of the season. Although it was a disappointing effort, he'll remain on the fantasy radar against the Denver Broncos next week. Denver has allowed the 12th-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks this year, and Goff has played much better at home than on the road in his Lions' career.
Dec 10, 2023 4:41 PM EST
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has thrown two touchdowns in four straight games, keeping him solidly on the fantasy radar in single-QB leagues. Before his hot streak, the veteran had five games of one touchdown pass or fewer. Ultimately, pure pocket passers like Goff need multiple touchdowns to pay dividends in fantasy, but he should have a good chance to keep his streak alive against the Chicago Bears in Week 14. The Bears have allowed the eighth-most fantasy points per game to signal-callers this year and have given up the third-most touchdown passes per game (1.9).
Dec 7, 2023 1:33 PM EST
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff completed 16 of his 25 passing attempts for 213 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions. The veteran has now thrown two touchdowns in four straight contests. His yardage total was notable, but he was a fine fantasy option in Week 13. Next week, he'll face the Chicago Bears, who have allowed the 10th-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks this season.
Dec 3, 2023 5:13 PM EST
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has committed at least two turnovers in each of his last two games, but he's also thrown two touchdowns in each of his last three games. Despite the turnover woes, Goff hasn't finished as lower than QB16 since Week 8. That said, he remains a low-end QB1 fantasy option against the New Orleans Saints in Week 13. New Orleans has allowed the 12th-fewest fantasy points per game this year, but the Lions' offense is matchup-proof when it's rolling. He needs a few touchdown tosses to pay off for fantasy managers, but he's proven to be capable of just that for most of the 2023 season
