News: 5 hours agoGoff completed 32 of 52 passes for 412 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in the Lions' 32-26 loss to the Panthers on Sunday night.

Spin: The Lions surprisingly found themselves trailing throughout the majority of the second half, leading to Goff putting up season-high totals in all of completions, pass attempts and passing yards. The veteran signal-caller did see a three-game streak of multi-TD-pass tallies come to an end, with Sunday night's sole scoring strike going to Sam LaPorta from eight yards out late in the fourth quarter. Goff connected with seven different targets overall and helped facilitate Jameson Williams' first 100-yard effort of the season, but he'll now be tasked with trying to prevent Detroit from falling below .500 in a Week 5 road matchup against the Cardinals next Sunday.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Goff is entering his 10th NFL season, including his sixth with the Lions. The 2016 No. 1 draft pick has been extremely successful through the air over the past three seasons (4,500-plus yards and 30-plus touchdowns in all three), which has helped him to fantasy finishes of seventh, sixth and ninth. Of course, there's some survivorship bias here, as Goff's per-game finishes during the span are 15th, seventh and 12th. The reason for the limited fantasy output is a lack of rushing, as Goff has never cleared 108 rushing yards in a season and was held to 45 yards in 2025. Playing at his absolute ceiling as a passer and still no more than a fringe QB1, the 31-year-old is just a solid backup/occasional streaming option in fantasy.
