Lions' Jared Goff: Tops 300 yards
Goff completed 38 of 57 pass attempts for 338 yards with three touchdowns and one interception during Sunday's 41-33 loss to San Francisco.
After going down 38-10 halfway through the third quarter, Goff approached his career high in pass attempts for a game but ultimately finished with a forgettable 5.9 yards per pass attempt. However, even though his final numbers don't account for his pick-six and generally make his actual performance seem better than it was, it's still encouraging to see Detroit find some form of success through the air. Goff was set up well in the backfield with two proficient pass-catching running backs in D'Andre Swift (eight catches for 65 yards on 11 targets) and Jamaal Williams (8/9/56) while tight end T.J. Hockenson (8/10/97) served as a reliable safety valve over the middle. Even if he's far from an elite quarterback in a real-world football sense, Goff could qualify as a serviceable fantasy option if Detroit's leaky defense continues to force him into pass-heavy game scripts. Next up is a Week 2 matchup on Monday night in Green Bay.
