Expert
Mike Tagliere FantasyPros	If you were to go through Goff's games where he had great success last year, you'd notice a trend. The Cardinals twice (32nd), Falcons (25th), Bengals (27th), and Bucs (23rd) were the teams he had his best games against. Where did the Cowboys rank? 13th. We saw Goff drop back a massive 51 times against them in Week 15 last year where he completed 33 passes for 284 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. This game is likely to be very fast paced, just as that game last year was when the teams combined for a massive 142 plays. It was a common theme, too, as both teams ranked inside the top-six in total plays per game. The Cowboys defense did lose their best cornerback in Byron Jones this offseason, as well as edge rusher Robert Quinn and interior lineman Maliek Collins, but they tried to make up for those losses by adding cornerback Trevon Diggs in the second round, interior lineman Neville Gallimore in the third, and signing Everson Griffin in free agency. They should improve, though it's hard to say they come together as a unit right away with so much turnover. Knowing how many pass attempts Goff had their last meeting when the Cowboys ran all over them should make you feel better about his floor, though the concern is that Goff has only been producing against bottom-12 defenses. Are the Cowboys that? We'll see, but I'd consider Goff a middling QB2 until we know for sure. He does have appeal in tournaments with such high play volume.
Jacob Wayne Lineups	Goff's fantasy week is going to come down to the game script. If you believe, as I do, that the Cowboys' offense will be too much for the Rams' defense to handle early on, you probably see the Dallas picking up an early lead. The Rams are going to be among the leaders in passing attempts per game, especially after losing Todd Gurley, as they are likely to be in a lot of positive game scripts for the passing game. Goff has two elite wideouts - Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods - to throw to and will need to drop back and pass a lot in this game.
Kyle Yates FantasyPros	Goff's got some reloaded weapons in LA now, but it might not be enough to vault him back into starting consideration against Dallas right away. Even though this may be a high scoring matchup, it's unlikely that Goff does enough to push himself into start-worthy status. Goff's a fine option in 2QB leagues, but he can stay on your waiver wire in your typical redraft leagues.
Derek Lofland FantasyPros	The Cowboys were 11th against fantasy quarterbacks, but it is a new coaching staff and a new scheme in Dallas. I would not put much stock in the 11th ranking one way or another, Goff played like a QB2 most of last year and I would rank him as such until he shows otherwise.
