• Lions' Jared Goff: QBs to Start

  1D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  The Buccaneers secondary is a mess with Zyon McCollum (concussion), Bryce Hall (leg), Josh Hayes (ankle) and Antoine Winfield Jr. (ankle) all getting injured in Week 1 against Washington. That should allow Goff to rebound from a subpar performance against the Rams in Week 1 when he scored just 13.4 Fantasy points and play like a top-10 quarterback in Week 2. He scored 26.4 Fantasy points at Tampa Bay last year in Week 6, and Goff has scored at least 20 Fantasy points in 16 of his past 22 games at home going back to 2021.

• Lions' Jared Goff: Struggles in OT win

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Goff completed 18 of 28 passes for 217 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 26-20 overtime win over the Rams. He added one rush attempt for seven yards. After a quiet first half, Goff gave the Lions a 17-3 lead with a 52-yard touchdown pass to Jameson Williams in the third quarter. The Rams then scored 17 unanswered points, aided by a fourth-quarter Goff interception after the Lions had worked it into field-goal range. Goff bounced back to lead a scoring drive capped by a game-tying 32-yard Jake Bates field goal with 17 seconds left, then Detroit marched down the field on the ground to win it in overtime on a one-yard David Montgomery touchdown. After getting away with a subpar performance in the season opener, Goff will look to sharpen his game in Week 2 against the Buccaneers.

• Lions' Jared Goff: Not expected to face Steelers

  19D ago • By RotoWire

  Goff isn't likely to see action in Saturday's preseason finale against the Steelers, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports. Goff was held out of the team's first two exhibition contests, and it looks like the Lions will continue to play it safe with their top QB on Saturday. As a result, look for Hendon Hooker, who's competing with Nate Sudfeld for backup slotting behind Goff, to draw the start against Pittsburgh. In that scenario, Goff's next game action will occur Sept. 8 against the Rams.

• Lions' Jared Goff: Lands four-year, $212M extension

  05/13/2024 • By RotoWire

  Goff agreed to a four-year, $212 million contract extension with the Lions on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The deal contains $170 million guaranteed, and Goff is now the highest-paid player in Lions franchise history. The 2016 No. 1 overall pick of the Rams, Goff was acquired from Los Angeles in the Matthew Stafford deal following the 2020 season and has resurrected his career under Detroit offensive coordinator Ben Johnson. In three seasons with Detroit, Goff has completed 66.5 percent of his passes -- up from 63.4 percent with Los Angeles -- and has thrown for 12,258 yards with a stellar 78:27 TD:INT. He's lowered his turnover rate with Detroit and just helped lead the team to the NFC Championship Game last season. Goff is still just 29 years old and is locked in with the Lions for at least the next few seasons.
