Jared Goff a 'low-end QB2' in fantasy rest of season | Fantasy Football Happy Hour | NFL on NBC

Jared Goff's Fantasy Outlook

• 📉 Jared Goff is projected as a low-end QB2 for the rest of the season in fantasy football.
• 📊 He has only achieved 18+ fantasy points in two games this year and finished higher than QB17 only twice.
• ⚠️ Despite being a reliable player previously, his high floor seems to be gone, making him questionable for one-quarterback formats.

Lions' Offensive Strategy

• 🏈 The Detroit Lions' success in running the ball significantly impacts Goff's fantasy production.
• 🏃 The team has one of the lowest pass rates in the NFL due to their effective run game.
• 🎯 The offensive coordinator, John Morton, prioritizes the run game, limiting the need for an advanced passing game.

Impact on Goff's Performance

• 📉 While Goff is a good quarterback for a top NFL team, his individual performance has been shaky this season.
• 🚀 The team's frequent scoring position often leads to touchdown passes, but his overall fantasy ceiling is limited by the run-heavy approach.
• 🧩 The variance of pass-catchers like Jameson Williams and Sam LaPorta also contributes to Goff's inconsistent fantasy output.

Upcoming Matchup Considerations

• 💡 There's hope for improvement for the Lions coming out of their bye week.
• ⚔️ The upcoming game against the Raiders presents a favorable matchup for the Lions' run game, as the Raiders have allowed eight rushing touchdowns in their last five games.
• 📉 This strong run-game matchup further suggests that Goff's passing volume and fantasy upside might remain constrained.
