Jared Goff

Just when you think it can't get any worse, it does. Goff's tally is now 18 passing touchdowns over his last 17 games. How bad is that? Mitch Trubisky has 22 passing touchdowns in that time and that doesn't even include his six-touchdown game against the Bucs. Everyone has called for Trubisky's head, while Goff has flown somewhat under the radar. Now coming off a zero-touchdown game against the Steelers, he'll play the Bears. They're somewhat similar games, as both teams have a solid pass-rush, and both are able to generate turnovers because of that. Goff went against a similar Bears team last year, completing just 20-of-44 passes for 180 yards, no touchdowns, and four interceptions. The Bears defense has certainly looked much more beatable without defensive tackle Akiem Hicks, though he's affected their run-defense much more than anything. They've allowed just nine passing touchdowns through nine games, and there's been just two quarterbacks who've thrown more than one touchdown against them all season. They've also yet to allow a quarterback average more than 7.7 yards per attempt on the year. Because of that, they've yet to allow a 20-point fantasy quarterback. The Bears defense isn't the reason their team has failed to live up to expectations, though they are more beatable than when Goff was in Chicago last year. Goff is nothing more than a middling QB2 for this game and not one you should aim to use until he proves he can throw touchdowns against a halfway decent team.
