Back in August, we did a [very] small series called, ‘League Winning Moves.’ Although the series was kind of thrown together at the last minute, one of the highlights was to “Draft Jared Goff.” If you followed that advice and grabbed Goff in the very late rounds, you would have scored no less than 17 points from your quarterback during the first four weeks of the season, and would have already locked in 39-plus points on Thursday Night to kick off Week 4 with a bang. Goff throttled one of the better defenses in the league to the tune of 465 yards and 5 touchdowns on 26-of-33 passing. Yes, the dude almost had as many touchdowns, as incompletions.
Back in August, Goff’s ADP was hovering around 114 overall, which was the 16th QB off the board. Now, he’s the QB1 (has played one more game than the competition, obviously) and has thrown 11 touchdowns to only 2 interceptions. In fact, he’s easily our highest-rising quarterback on our Rest of Season Big Board, up to 63 overall, right behind Kirk Cousins (61) and the GOAT, Tom Brady (62).
The blend of Goff’s No. 1 overall talent, mixed with Sean McVay’s gigantic coaching brain and a set of weapons that’s borderline unfair to the rest of the league, the sky is the absolute limit for Goff. He’ll battle our guy Patrick Mahomes for 2018 Fantasy MVP honors, while breaking scoreboards in the process. Jared Goff is shaping up to be a legitimate league winning move.
