Jared Goff

He had a mediocre game last week against the Seahawks where Sean McVay really changed things up with the personnel, and it did give them the element of the unknown, so kudos to him. Still, his finish was just QB17 on the week. The Cowboys had not allowed a quarterback to hit the 20-point threshold through 10 weeks but have now allowed three of the last four quarterbacks they've played to hit that number. It does help that each of them rushed for at least 43 yards and a touchdown, which is something we're obviously not getting out of Goff. Make no mistake about it, the Cowboys are not a bad pass defense. They've allowed just 6.92 yards per attempt and a 3.64 percent touchdown-rate, both of which rank top-10 in the league. Trubisky was the first quarterback to throw for three touchdowns against them, and in fact, he was just the fifth quarterback to throw more than one touchdown against them. The games Goff has done well in this year have come against the Bucs, Falcons, Bengals, and Cardinals. Those are all teams towards the bottom of the league when it comes to yards per attempt and touchdown-rate to quarterbacks. If you've played Goff against bottom-feeder defenses, you've done well. If you've played him against non-bottom-feeder defenses, you've done poorly. This matchup doesn't strike me as a bottom-feeder, despite the fact that they've lost three in a row. Goff should be considered a mid-to-low-end QB2.

Jared Goff throws for 293 yards, two TDs on Sunday night

Jared Goff completed 22-of-31 passes for 293 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions as the Rams beat the Seahawks 28-12 on Sunday Night Football.

Fantasy Impact

One of the interceptions was a pick-six. However, Goff was still good enough to lead LA to victory in this one. He now has a 15-14 TD-INT ratio through 13 games. Consider him a QB2 next week against the Cowboys.
