In a world obsessed with mobile quarterbacks, highlight reels, and upside hype, Jared Goff continues to get left out of the conversation. But while the fantasy community chases chaos, Goff quietly remains one of the most efficient and consistent passers in football—and he’s set up to do it again in 2025.
📊 .95 Fantasy Points Per Touch — Elite Production
Let the numbers speak: Goff averaged .95 fantasy points per touch over 574 touches in 2024. That’s more efficient than Jalen Hurts, Joe Burrow, and even Jayden Daniels. Despite that, he’s still not considered a top-10 fantasy QB by most analysts.
He doesn’t run. He doesn’t improvise.
He just executes—with timing, precision, and elite decision-making in a highly structured system.
🔁 System Continuity, Even Without Ben Johnson
Yes, Ben Johnson is gone, now the head coach of the Chicago Bears. But the Lions didn’t blow up the offense—they promoted from within by elevating John Morton, formerly the team’s passing game coordinator, to offensive coordinator.
- Morton brings West Coast roots and deep experience from working under Jon Gruden, Sean Payton, and Jim Harbaugh.
- He’s already familiar with the personnel, the playbook, and Goff’s strengths.
- This means Detroit’s offensive identity stays intact, with possible enhancements in tempo and vertical route layering.
Goff isn’t learning anything new—he’s building on what already worked.
🏟️ Dome Comfort + Turf Speed = Perfect Fit
- Plays home games in a dome at Ford Field
- 9+ games indoors or in controlled conditions
- Top-tier offensive line
- Elite YAC weapons in Jahmyr Gibbs, Sam LaPorta, and Amon-Ra St. Brown
- Speed threat Jameson Williams looks ready to take the next step
The Lions’ offense is built for timing, spacing, and speed. Goff is the engine that keeps it moving.
💡 Regression? Not Likely
People expect Goff to regress, but what’s actually changed?
- Same head coach (Dan Campbell)
- Same quarterback
- Same core system
- Same OL and skill talent (now more mature)
- Same dome track meet schedule
The only thing different is the nameplate on the OC’s office. And that’s a coach who’s already been designing plays for this exact group.
💤 The Smartest Value at QB
If you’re fading the fantasy noise and looking for floor, value, and sneaky top-8 upside, Jared Goff should be circled on every draft board. You don’t need him to run. You just need him to do exactly what he did last year—and all signs point to that continuing.
🏁 Final Word: Goff Isn’t Flashy—He’s Just Efficient
Jared Goff might never make your highlight reel, but he could absolutely win you weeks.
He’s efficient.
He’s protected.
He’s surrounded.
And he’s still disrespected.
Stop sleeping on Jared Goff. Start building rosters that win.
