  Lions | Jared Goff hopes for new deal    Tue Jan 30, 10:44 AM

Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff said he hopes to sign a long-term contract extension with the Lions but it will be up to his representatives and the team to reach an agreement.

Footballguys view: Lions' OC Ben Johnson is staying in Detroit, so the team could continue to have great success with Goff running the show. In 2024, Goff has a cap hit of $31.6MM with only $5MM in dead money.

  Packers | Jordan Love no stranger to the blitz    Wed Jan 3, 12:15 PM

Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love has been blitzed a league-high 192 times this season, according to Pro Football Reference. The next closest quarterback is Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff with 180.

Footballguys view: Teams are trying their best to rattle Love. He's struggled at times this year, but Love has taken his lumps as he gets used to the pro game. If the weapons around him can stay healthy, Love should continue to improve and has a bright future as the starter for the Packers.

Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff went 20-for-35 for 161 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions against the Chicago Bears in Week 14.

Footballguys view: Outdoor Goff strikes again. The Lions were in this game until they allowed a touchdown on 4th and 13, followed by Goff fumbling an exchange from center and another quick touchdown from Justin Fields. The good news is that Goff returns home to face Denver next week and doesn't have an outdoor game in the fantasy playoffs.

Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff finished 29-of-44 for 332 yards and two touchdowns in Week 12 versus the Green Bay Packers. Goff also added nine yards rushing on three carries but lost three fumbles.

Footballguys view: Goff was terrorized by Rashan Gary in a game that will send the resurgent Lions back to the drawing board. He was still a strong fantasy play and should be next week at the Superdome.

Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff went 23-for-35 for 236 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions against the Chicago Bears in Week 11.

Footballguys view: Goff had three poor interceptions and had another throw that should have been a pick six at the Bears goal line, but he was excellent in two minute drill situations and did enough to win a game the Lions trailed 26-14 with 4:15 left. Goff is a high floor QB1 against the Packers on Thanksgiving.

Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud completed 30-of-42 passes for 470 yards, five touchdowns and no interceptions with 10 rushing yards in Week 9 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Stroud is the sixth player in NFL history to post at least 450 passing yards, five passing touchdowns and no interceptions, and the first since QB Jared Goff did it for the Los Angeles Rams in 2018. His passing yardage total was also an NFL rookie record.

  Lions | Goff throws for 353, two scores in win    Sun Oct 15, 08:22 PM

Jared Goff completed 30-of-44 attempts for 353 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Lions to a 20-6 win at Tampa.

Footballguys view: With David Montgomery going down and Jahmyr Gibbs sidelined by a hamstring injury, the offense fell on Goff's shoulders. He leaned on Amon-Ra St. Brown, who had a huge 12 catches for 124 yards and a score, and Goff also hooked up with Jameson Williams for a 45-yard touchdown that hints at bigger things to come. Goff is a solid QB1 heading into a matchup at Baltimore.

  Lions | Jared Goff accounts for four touchdowns    Sun Oct 8, 05:37 PM

Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff went 20-for-28 for 236 yards and three touchdowns against the Carolina Panthers in Week 5. He also rushed for zero yards and one touchdown on two carries during the game.

Footballguys view: Goff was highly efficient without his top wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown. He added a score on a sneak and put up a big game even with the running backs scoring twice. He's solid QB1 play against the Bucs next week with the hope that St. Brown can play.

  Lions | Another quiet road effort from Jared Goff     Fri Sep 29, 12:05 AM

Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff connected on 19 of his 28 passes for 210 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in a Week 4 win over the Green Bay Packers. He also ran twice for 10 yards. Goff has now thrown one touchdown pass or fewer in 13 of his last 14 road games.

Footballguys view: Goff's first drive ended with an interception, but he was good for the rest of the night even though it wasn't a big fantasy stat line. Blame the Packers for falling so far behind early that the Lions could lean on the run. The Lions will have a plus matchup for Goff against the Panthers at home next week.

  Lions | Jared Goff finishes with 243 yards    Sun Sep 24, 04:32 PM

Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff went 22-for-33 for 243 yards, one touchdown and one interception against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 3. He also rushed for three yards and one touchdown on five carries during the game.

Footballguys view: Goff had one poor pass, but otherwise was steady and kept this offense on schedule all day in a balanced win for the Lions. He'll face the Packers on Thursday and should be in consideration as a high floor/low ceiling QB1.

  Lions | Decent opener from Jared Goff    Fri Sep 8, 12:11 AM

Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff completed 22 of his 35 passes for 253 yards and a touchdown against the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday, Sept. 7. Goff was sacked only once and did not throw an interception.

Footballguys view: Goff didn't make any big mistakes and hung tough in the pocket to make difficult throws. A Marvin Jones fumble ended what looked like another scoring drive in the making and David Montgomery scored once on the ground, or it could have been a bigger night for Goff. He'll face the Seahawks resurgent defense next week.

  Lions | Jared Goff talking extension    Sat Sep 2, 12:00 AM

Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff and the team have had 'good dialogue' in regards to contract talks, general manager Brad Holmes said Friday, Sept. 1.

Footballguys view: This report was the same earlier this year. We'll see if Goff can get something done before the start of the regular season, although there is no pressure to get a deal done. Goff is set to hit free agency in 2025. The Lions have a ton of hype around them this year, and the NFC North looks different without Aaron Rodgers. If the Lions can make a run at the postseason, and perhaps the division title, Goff would have more leverage than he does right now.

  Lions | Opponents brought the heat on Jared Goff in 2022    Wed Jul 12, 12:30 AM

Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff was blitzed a league-high 186 times in 2022, according to Pro Football Reference.

Footballguys view: Teams tried to rattle Goff in 2022, but he still had near career-high numbers in his second season as the Lions' starter. Lions OC Ben Johnson does a great job of keeping things quick for Goff to read. He's getting rid of the ball and getting passes to his playmakers before the pressure gets to him. That's why he was only sacked 23 times despite getting blitzed more than any quarterback in the league. We'll see if defenses take a different strategy with Goff in 2023.

  Lions | Jared Goff cozy at home in 2022    Fri Jul 7, 02:29 PM

Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff finished 210-of-319 (65.8 percent) for 2,472 yards and 23 touchdowns with three interceptions (109.3 quarterback rating) in nine home games during the 2022 season. By contrast, he finished 172-of-268 (64.18 percent) for 1,966 yards, six TDs and four interceptions (87.4 quarterback rating) in eight road contests.

Footballguys view: There's nothing like home cooking. Goff has more weapons around him, and expectations are high for the Lions in what seems like forever. From a fantasy perspective, when Goff has his full array of weapons, the veteran quarterback is a QB2 with upside to be a QB1 in 2023.

  Lions | Detroit opening up extension talks with Jared Goff    Tue May 2, 01:37 PM

Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff has reportedly entered the 'extremely early stages' of discussing a contract extension with the team, according to general manager Brad Holmes Tuesday, May 2.

Footballguys view: The Lions are looking for a good deal with Goff, who is entrenched as their starter for at least the 2023 season. However, they did spend a second-round pick in the 2023 NFL draft on Hendon Hooker. He's a highly developed passer with incredible upside if he stays healthy (Hooker is coming off a 2022 knee injury) and plays up to his potential. We could see Goff get a short-term extension before the start of the regular season.

Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff went 21-for-29 for 255 yards and three touchdowns against the Chicago Bears in Week 17.

Footballguys view: Goff had a big game even with the Lions backs accounting for two scores. He has established himself as the team's long term quarterback and as a fantasy QB1 in this offense. The Lions could still make the playoffs if they beat the Packers next week and the Seahawks lose a game.

Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff went 25-for-42 for 355 yards and three touchdowns against the Carolina Panthers in Week 16. He also rushed for 15 yards on three carries during the game.

Footballguys view: Goff was playing from behind for most of the game as his defense couldn't stop the Panthers running game and spotted them a big lead. Goff was huge for fantasy teams that relied on him, and he'll be a great play against the Bears at home indoors fighting to stay in the playoff picture next week.

  Lions | Jared Goff tosses TD in Week 15    Sun Dec 18, 04:09 PM

Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff completed 23-of-38 passes for 252 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Week 15 against the New York Jets and he did not attempt a run.

Footballguys view: Goff underthrew a wide open Jameson Williams on a play that should have been a long score, and the team was stopped on four runs at the goal line early, or he would have had a better day. It was still adequate considering the opponent and setting. Goff is in streamer consideration against the Panthers and Bears the next two weeks as the Lions make their playoff push.

  Lions | Jared Goff throws three touchdowns    Sun Dec 11, 05:27 PM

Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff went 27-for-39 for 330 yards and three touchdowns against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 14.

Footballguys view: Goff has been on fire since Amon-Ra St. Brown, D'Andre Swift, and D.J. Chark all got healthy, and now first-round pick Jameson Williams is getting on the field and making an impact. Next week Goff goes on the road to face the tough Jets pass defense, but he definitely has value in easier matchups at Carolina and home against Chicago after that.

Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff went 31-for-41 for 340 yards and two touchdowns against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 13.

Footballguys view: With a healthy D'Andre Swift and D.J. Chark, Goff returned to early season form along with this sometimes hyperefficient offense. Goff has the look of a fantasy QB1 heading into a matchup with the Vikings, and first round pick Jameson Williams should be ready to make a bigger impact in his second game next week against Minnesota.

Footballguys view: The Lions offense came back to life this week with the return of D'Andre Swift and Amon-Ra St. Brown and with it, Goff's fantasy value. The Lions face the Packers next week and Goff should be a streamer consideration.

  Lions | Jared Goff struggles in Week 7    Sun Oct 23, 04:48 PM

Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff went 21-for-26 for 228 yards, zero touchdowns and two interceptions against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 7.

Footballguys view: Goff was supposed to be better with Amon-Ra St. Brown and D'Andre Swift back, but Swift was inactive after all and St. Brown left early with a concussion. He was still accurate on most of his passes, but Goff also turned the ball over four times and was not able to elevate a shorthanded offense against a good Cowboys defense. He'll hope to have more help against Miami today.

Footballguys view: Goff was solved by Bill Belichick yet again. The shorthanded Lions offense didn't help matters. The Lions and Goff go into their bye feeling like not much has changed during the Dan Campbell era when it comes to results.

  Lions | Jared Goff throws four touchdowns    Sun Oct 2, 05:18 PM

Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff went 26-for-39 for 378 yards, four touchdowns and one interceptions against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 4.

Footballguys view: Goff was without his top running back and wide receiver, and another starting quality receiver, but it didn't stop him from putting up a massive fantasy game. The Seahawks defense gets an assist and we should expect the Saints to put up some good stats against them next week, but Goff, offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and a strong offensive line also deserve credit for the Lions success on offense even though it hasn't translated to wins yet. They will have a test against the Patriots and former head coach Matt Patricia next week.

  Lions | Jared Goff expected to skip preseason game    Mon Aug 22, 10:13 PM

Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff is not expected to play in the final preseason game, but head coach Dan Campbell said most starters will receive a good amount of playing time during the game.

Footballguys view: Goff won't be looked at in fantasy drafts, even as a backup. In the Lions' offense, Goff will be asked to be a game manager and hand off as much as possible. That makes him a low-end QB2 for Fantasy GMs, and that means most of you won't be drafting him.
