PositiveRoleAug 25, 2026
Jared Goff is a reliable veteran QB but not a runner, which is good for his teammates in Detroit; this lack of rushing volume concentrates offensive production among pass-catchers and running backs.PositiveRoleAug 21, 2026
Jared Goff is a walking 4,000-yard passer, supporting Detroit's status as one of the best offenses in the league and providing a strong environment for Sam LaPorta.PositiveValueAug 19, 2026
The source gives Goff the edge over Stafford because Goff is six years younger and looking at a pinball-friendly schedule with 11 games under a dome or retractable roof. The Rams have probably built a top-five defense, while Detroit's defense is up in the air with injuries and depth ravaging the secondary.PositiveProjectionAug 19, 2026
Over the last four seasons, Goff has the most passing yards and touchdown passes in football. Some of that is survivor bias, but Goff has been underrated for most of his career.PositiveValueAug 19, 2026
Goff is drafted in the twelfth round by Patrick Daugherty, positioning him as a mid-round quarterback option.PositiveSleeperAug 19, 2026
Goff is the source's top mid-round quarterback sleeper for 2026. He ranked fourth league-wide in passing attempts in 2025 and will throw frequently in Detroit's explosive offense featuring Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Sam LaPorta, and Jahmyr Gibbs. The Lions play the NFL's weakest schedule, boosting his ceiling, and his secondary injuries plus unproven pass rush should lead to high-scoring games. He has thrown for at least 4,500 yards and 30 touchdowns in three straight seasons, providing a high floor. At consensus QB16 ranking, he should easily finish as a top-10 fantasy quarterback, making him a bargain.PositiveValueAug 18, 2026
The source identifies Jared Goff as part of a preferred late-round quarterback pairing (with Malik Willis) in double-digit rounds, allowing the source to feel 'quite set at quarterback' while preserving draft capital for running back and receiver depth in early rounds.PositiveValueAug 18, 2026
Goff (ADP 114.7, QB17) has been one of the more consistent NFL quarterbacks, posting at least 4,500 yards and 30 passing touchdowns in three consecutive campaigns and finishing as a top-10 fantasy quarterback in each season; the Lions face the NFL's weakest schedule in 2026 and have a plethora of weapons including Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Sam LaPorta and Jahmyr Gibbs, positioning Goff to vastly outperform his fantasy draft slot.PositiveProjectionAug 17, 2026
Ranked QB9 in 2026 fantasy football rankings by Gus Frerotte.NegativeValueAug 17, 2026
Not among top-12 QB options per early August consensus rankings via FantasyPros; in traditional 1 QB leagues with 4-point passing TDs, patience at QB is recommended and Goff may linger into the ninth round.PositiveValueAug 17, 2026
Jared Goff is ranked QB20 on some boards despite Gus Frerotte rating him much higher; Frerotte cites Goff's consistent production: 4,438+ yards and 29+ TDs in four straight seasons, suggesting he should not be written off as replacement-level despite his QB20 ranking elsewhere.PositiveValueAug 12, 2026
Pat ranks Goff QB13 despite finishing top 10 in fantasy points each of the past two seasons. Goff has one of the league's best skill corps, plays more than half his games in domes, and has averaged 4,551 yards over the past four years. Pat argues there is no real reason to expect him to finish outside the top 12, and that most anti-Goff bets end up missing their mark, making him undervalued at his current ADP.PositiveValueAug 12, 2026
Jalen Nailor was hoping to draft Jared Goff as a QB2 option in the range of Matthew Stafford, Jaxson Dart, Bo Nix, Kyler Murray, Goff, or Jordan Love after drafting Caleb Williams in Round 7, but Goff flew off the board.NegativeRoleAug 12, 2026
Jared Goff is identified as a mid-round QB target, though the source provides no specific ADP, projection, or reasoning for his inclusion in this tier.PositiveProjectionAug 12, 2026
Rated as a high-end QB2, indicating strong quarterback value with solid fantasy expectations.PositiveValueAug 11, 2026
Goff is highlighted as excellent late-round quarterback value, available well outside the top-100 picks in round 12 (pick 143). He has finished as a top-12 fantasy quarterback multiple times in the past. The source emphasizes that unless you're in a superflex league, don't feel compelled to draft quarterbacks ahead of ADP, as names like Goff, Brock Purdy, Bo Nix, and Kyler Murray offer strong value in the late rounds.PositiveValueAug 10, 2026
QB8 finish with QB17 ADP; Goff leads the NFL in passing yards and TD passes over the past four cumulative seasons. Despite some survivor bias, this stat speaks to how underrated Goff tends to be. Detroit's situation remains unchanged—Goff enjoys a schedule loaded with indoor games and works with an outstanding supporting cast. He won't offer rushing value, but given his established production level, he's a screaming giveaway at current market price.PositiveValueAug 10, 2026
Listed as a green light QB at ADP; the source identifies Goff as a target-worthy quarterback at his current draft cost.PositiveValueAug 10, 2026
Jared Goff receives a green light at his Yahoo ADP, indicating the source views him as appropriately priced or undervalued at his current draft position among top-12 QB options.PositiveValueAug 7, 2026
Averaging 32 TD passes and 4,551 passing yards over last four years; late ADP is a gift. Indoor-heavy schedule is one of NFL's easiest.PositiveValueAug 6, 2026
Goff was drafted for $1 in a 14-team, $200 salary cap league. The source notes Goff has always been grossly underrated and is perfectly slotted with surrounding schedule and indoor-heavy schedule, representing a 'no stars, just talent' approach in a deep quarterback market.PositiveValueAug 6, 2026
Goff at 116th ADP is within 18 projected points of the QB15, making him a nice value option according to the source.NegativeMatchupAug 5, 2026
Jared Goff scored only 16.2 points in Week 14 2025 against Dallas despite the Cowboys' porous secondary being a seemingly productive QB matchup; the source attributes Goff's underperformance to the Lions' offense scoring four rushing touchdowns (three from inside the 20-yard line), illustrating that projecting QB game environments requires evaluating the entire offense, not just the passing game, as rushing TD distribution can significantly impact passing volume and scoring.PositiveProjectionAug 5, 2026
Goff is cited as QB17 with 7 games with a top-12 finish in 2025, including a couple of top-six weeks during the playoffs. The source uses him as an example of a Late-Round QB strategy option, showing that waiting on QB can yield elite production even from lower-ADP signal-callers.PositiveProjectionAug 4, 2026
Goff is projected to lead the NFL in passing yards. He's finished second in three straight seasons while being top-10 in pass attempts in each of the last four. The Lions' secondary and edge depth have declined since they were seventh in scoring on defense two years ago, forcing them to keep the foot on the gas all year long. The offense is projected for the fourth-most points by betting markets. Goff's sack rate spiked last year with his worst OL in years, but the Lions found upgrades in the draft (first-round RT Blake Miller) and free agency (C Cade Mays), while allowing 2025 second-round RG Tate Ratledge and 2024 sixth-round LG Christian Mahogany to develop. Goff plays in a dome with elite weaponry and hasn't played a full season with Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams and Sam LaPorta in their primes. The source projects him as a low-end QB1.PositiveProjectionAug 4, 2026
The source projects Goff as a low-end QB1 for 2026. Goff gets to play in a dome with elite weaponry. The loss of David Montgomery may push the Lions to pass even more, and they haven't played a full season with Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, and Sam LaPorta all in their primes. The source asks 'What's not to like as a low-end QB1?'PositiveProjectionAug 4, 2026
Goff is projected to lead the NFL in passing yards. He's finished second in three straight seasons while being top-10 in pass attempts in each of the last four. The Lions' secondary and edge depth aren't as strong as they were two years ago, forcing them to keep the foot on the gas with that defense. Goff's sack rate spiked last year with his worst OL in years, but they found upgrades in the draft (first-round RT Blake Miller) and free agency (C Cade Mays), while allowing 2025 second-round RG Tate Ratledge and 2024 sixth-round LG Christian Mahogany to develop. The Lions are projected for the fourth-most points by betting markets. Goff plays in a dome with elite weaponry and hasn't played a full season with Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams and Sam LaPorta in their primes. The source calls him a low-end QB1.NegativeRoleJul 29, 2026
Goff expressed optimism about the transition to new coordinator Drew Petzing, saying 'There will be growing pains, there always is. But up to this point, it's been really, really good. I've had a lot of fun working with him,' indicating a positive early rapport despite the coordinator change.PositiveProjectionJul 29, 2026
Despite Campbell taking over play-calling mid-season, Goff still put up strong numbers with 4,564 passing yards and 34 touchdowns, which were not far off his 2024 marks; if Goff vibes well with new coordinator Drew Petzing, there is no reason he can't again be one of the most productive quarterbacks in the NFL.NegativeRoleJul 29, 2026
Goff will be on his third coordinator in three seasons after the Lions moved on from John Morton following a lackluster 2025-26 season; new coordinator Drew Petzing comes from the Cardinals where his offenses never finished higher than 11th in total yards, but the Lions are gambling that Petzing's lack of results was due to inferior personnel and that a better roster will make a significant difference.NegativeRoleJul 29, 2026
Goff is entering his third coordinator in three seasons with new offensive coordinator Drew Petzing replacing John Morton; Petzing's prior offenses with Arizona never finished higher than 11th in total yards, but he will have significantly better personnel in Detroit. Goff still produced 4,564 yards and 34 touchdowns despite Campbell calling plays mid-season, and he expressed optimism about working with Petzing, saying 'There will be growing pains, there always is. But up to this point, it's been really, really good. I've had a lot of fun working with him.'PositiveValueJul 28, 2026
Pianowski tiers Goff at $9 salary in Talk Them Up, Talk Them Down tier. Goff is a little boring but forever underrated, the NFL's leader in touchdown passes over the past four years. There's some survivor bias baked into that stat, but it also reflects the joy of an indoor offense and a unit tied to several dynamic skill players. In leagues where you need more than one starter at QB, Goff is a terrific value target for your QB2.
