Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets: Jared Goff

Jared Goff (DET): 22% rostered

• Next opponents: @MIN, SEA, @NE
• True value: $3
• Desperate need: $5
• Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: I certainly didn’t have the “Joe Flacco and Jared Goff each toss four touchdown passes” spot on my Week 2 bingo card. Here we are, with Goff really enjoying a stellar receiving corps that will only get stronger as the season progresses. The emergence of Amon-Ra St Brown has everyone in the fantasy community marveling at the value built into this offense. D’Andre Swift has also been spectacular for Detroit. Goff was ironically very shaky for most of the game in Week 2, but he was effective at delivering the ball on time to his stars to put on a show. I can foresee him as a stronger streaming option in Week 4, but he’s a garbage time candidate next week in Minnesota as well.
