Rest-of-Season Outlook and Availability
Outlook
That profile is why the market keeps him in the QB2 tier despite three straight years leading the league in raw passing output. He has not missed a start since 2021, the volume is bankable, and the schedule projects soft. With no rushing floor to chase, treat Goff as a high-floor streamer or an excellent superflex anchor rather than a set-and-forget QB1. Behind him on the depth chart: Joshua Dobbs. Full outlook

Jared Goff Rest-of-Season Outlook
Volume-driven QB1 every week
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished QB8 last season at 17.9 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's QB7 at 21.9 PPR points per game, against 17.9 over 17 games last season (QB8). He's running ahead of last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 6th of 41 in passing volume (34.0 attempts per game), 8th of 41 in efficiency (0.14 EPA per play) and 39th of 41 in rushing (2.6 rush yards per game). His points come from his passing volume. Rushing is the soft spot. Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jahmyr Gibbs are his top two targets.
The job is secure: he's the listed starter and one of the best at his position. The main risk is health, and Joshua Dobbs is next on the depth chart if he misses time.
The next favorable matchups are the Panthers in Week 4 (8th against QBs) and the Cardinals in Week 5 (4th against QBs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Goff just stacked another full 17-game slate, throwing for 4,564 yards and 34 scores against only 8 picks while finishing as the No. 2 fantasy quarterback by our advanced metrics. The efficiency stayed real: a 0.145 EPA per play, 47.9% success rate, 68% completions and a tidy 1.8 CPOE behind a clean 2.3-second pocket. He pushed 185 throws past 10 yards and 66 past 20, but a 6.3% deep-attempt rate and just 45 rushing yards cap the weekly explosiveness that separates the position's true difference-makers.
That profile is why the market keeps him in the QB2 tier despite three straight years leading the league in raw passing output. He has not missed a start since 2021, the volume is bankable, and the schedule projects soft. With no rushing floor to chase, treat Goff as a high-floor streamer or an excellent superflex anchor rather than a set-and-forget QB1.

Jared Goff Fantasy Outlook FAQ
What is Jared Goff's fantasy outlook for the rest of the 2026 season?
Jared Goff projects as a volume-driven QB1 every week for the rest of the 2026 season: a weekly starter in superflex and 2QB, 12-team 1QB and 10-team 1QB leagues. His passing volume (34.0 attempts per game, 6th of 41 QBs in 2025) supports that. His rushing (2.6 rush yards per game, 39th of 41 QBs in 2025) holds him back. See his live rank in Redraft Command.
What is Jared Goff's rest-of-season fantasy ranking?
Jared Goff is the QB7 in PPR points per game through Week 4. That puts him in QB1 territory, a weekly starter in 12-team 1QB leagues.
What is Jared Goff's projected role going forward?
Jared Goff is the listed starting QB, with Joshua Dobbs next on the depth chart. Nothing on the chart threatens the job, so the role is his to lose on performance.
Will Jared Goff get more pass attempts?
Jared Goff's pass attempts are holding steady: 35.0 a game over his last two games against 36.3 for the season. Game script drives much of that, and trailing teams throw more.
What is Jared Goff's fantasy football upside?
Jared Goff's upside: his ceiling this season is 29.8 PPR points (Week 2, QB2), his passing volume (34.0 attempts per game, 6th of 41 QBs in 2025) gives him a weekly floor to build on and the Panthers in Week 4 and the Cardinals in Week 5 are top-10 matchups for QBs.
What could hurt Jared Goff's fantasy value?
Jared Goff's risks: Joshua Dobbs is next on the depth chart if he is benched or hurt, his rushing (2.6 rush yards per game, 39th of 41 QBs in 2025) limits his scoring and the Vikings in Week 8 is a tough matchup. See his injury status and history.
How difficult is Jared Goff's remaining fantasy schedule?
About average: of his next seven games, 3 come against a top-10 matchup for QBs and 3 against one of the stingiest defenses, by PPR points allowed to the position.

If Goff Misses Time
Next man up: Joshua Dobbs
Joshua Dobbs is next on the Lions depth chart at quarterback. In superflex leagues he's worth a speculative bench spot for Goff managers; in 1QB leagues he's a waiver add only if Goff misses time.
Who else it affects
A quarterback change matters most for Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jahmyr Gibbs, his two most-targeted pass catchers this season.
