QB: Jared Goff - DET

2024 Regular Season Summary

Elite Productivity & Efficiency

• Threw for 4,629 yards (2nd in NFL) and 37 touchdowns (4th), with just 12 interceptions over 17 games

• Posted a career-high 111.8 passer rating

• Completed 72.4% of passes — both marks set new franchise records

Per-Attempt Excellence

• Averaged 8.6 yards per attempt, up from approximately 7.6 in previous seasons

• Passing touchdown rate reached approximately 7.1% — one of the top marks in recent NFL history, surpassed only by three elite QB seasons over the past four years

Consistency & Durability

• Averaged 272.3 passing yards per game

• Ranked QB6 in total fantasy points among quarterbacks with full seasons

• Set a new personal best in fantasy points per game

2025 Fantasy Outlook

1. Stable Offensive Environment

• Core receiving weapons return: Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Sam LaPorta

• New offensive coordinator John Morton may increase overall passing volume or explosiveness

2. Rushing Context

• Goff offers minimal rushing value

• No rushing touchdowns in 2024 and has remained under 200 career rushing yards

• Fantasy upside remains almost entirely dependent on passing output

3. Risk Factors

• Offensive line and coordinator turnover could disrupt offensive rhythm

• However, the depth and quality of Detroit’s skill players may cushion those effects

Headliners Take

Goff enters 2025 coming off a season where he ranked among the league’s best in multiple passing categories:

• Top 5 in yards per attempt, touchdown rate, completion percentage, and passer rating

• Strong continuity in weapons and scheme, even with a new OC

• Minimal rushing contribution, so fantasy success is tied to his ability to sustain elite passing numbers

  
  

If Goff maintains a 6.5–7.0% touchdown rate and approximately 8.0 yards per attempt, he projects firmly as a QB1, with realistic upside to remain a top-12 fantasy quarterback.

However, any regression in scoring efficiency could push him back into the QB10–15 range. He’s no longer the “safe” low-ceiling option he used to be — in this high-powered Lions offense, Goff has the tools to outperform expectations, and there are far riskier picks out there at the same ADP.
