Availability
Jared Goff has become a paragon of consistency. He's strung together four consecutive 4,000-yard seasons, averaging 4,551 passing yards and 32.5 TD passes per season over that span. Goff hasn't missed a game since 2021. But Goff has finished outside the top 12 in fantasy points per game (five starts minimum) in three of the last four years. He's a fine passer but offers next to nothing as a runner, with 195 rushing yards and two TD runs over the last four years. Goff's high-floor, low-ceiling profile makes him an unsexy target in fantasy drafts, but his high-floor makes him an ideal backup in 1QB leagues or QB2 in superflex leagues.
Jared Goff is a wonderful quarterback to take in fantasy yearly. He offers an incredibly high floor with the ceiling to be a low-end QB1 in fantasy. Over the last four years, he has passed for at least 4,438 yards and 29 passing touchdowns yearly, with finishes as the QB13, QB7, QB11, and QB14 in fantasy points per game. Goff won't add anything with his legs (hasn't had more than 99 rushing yards in any season since 2019, but he will pile up the stats through the air. Last year, among 38 qualifying passers, he was sixth in yards per attempt, second in adjusted completion rate, fourth in highly accurate throw rate, and 15th in fantasy points per dropback (per Fantasy Points Data). He's a wonderful pick to pair with an upside QB late in drafts (Tyler Shough or Malik Willis).
