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.
