Jared Goff (vs. MIN), who's been outstanding so far this season (15 TDs, 0 INTs). This is the irresistible force meeting the immovable object and Detroit's #2 offense (points scored) vs. Brian Flores's #1 defense (points allowed) is the matchup I'm most excited to watch this week. Minnesota has surrendered just three passing TDs in six games, and they've also allowed the fewest yards and FPPG to opposing QBs.

Goff fades vs. Vikings' elite defense despite 15 TDs; weapon injury risk.

Goff is a Fade facing a very tough matchup against Minnesota's #1 defense (points allowed). Despite his outstanding season (15 TDs, 0 INTs), this is the irresistible force meeting the immovable object. Minnesota has surrendered just three passing TDs in six games, allowed the fewest yards and FPPG to opposing QBs, and is blitzing at an absurd 69% rate (no other team is above 45%). Additionally, both Jahmyr Gibbs (shoulder) and Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) sat out early in the practice week, and while there's no reason to think either misses the game, Goff would take a major hit if either one does.
