Despite being drafted outside the top-12 fantasy quarterbacks this year, Goff finds himself comfortably in the QB1 ranks for the season opener. Last year's QB12 in fantasy points per game gets to begin his 2026 campaign at home in the domed environment of Ford Field, where he's statistically done his best work. In the last four years, he's averaged over 5.0 points per game more at home than on the road.
