The Lions QB finished 2024 as the QB7 in points per game (19.4) and QB6 overall. 3rd in passing yards per game.
But Jared Goff hit his stride as injuries derailed the Lions' defense. From Week 11 onward, Goff averaged north of 25 points per game. Weeks 1-10 with a healthier defense? Fewer than 16.5 points per game.
That's just one red flag the Detroit QB has to face in 2025. The loss of OC Ben Johnson figures to be a challenge. Goff was just the QB18 in expected fantasy points per game, with virtually zero rushing to supplement his passing production. Among top-8 finishers last season, Goff posted the highest bust rate at 31%.

Jared Goff completed 23-of-32 pass attempts for 336 yards and three touchdowns in the Lions' 34-17 Week 16 win over the Bears.

Fantasy Impact

Goff continues a difference-making stretch behind center, throwing two or more touchdowns in six of the last seven games, throwing just one interception in that same span. The veteran signal-caller remains a solid QB1 option ahead of a Week 17 Monday night matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.
