2023 Fantasy Outlook
Goff had a career revival last season, surprisingly finishing QB10 in fantasy. On about 100 more attempts than in his first season in Detroit, he increased his passing yards by nearly 1,200 and his TDs by 10. Goff meshed well with first-year offensive coordinator Ben Johnson as his YPA jumped a full yard to 7.6 (7th) with a league-high TD/INT rate (4.14). He was particularly impressive in the second half of the season when he threw 15 TDs and no interceptions. He still didn’t throw downfield much -- 8.0 percent of attempts were beyond 20 yards (28th) -- but when he did, he was more accurate than usual (51.9 on-target percentage - 8th) and his receivers helped with 12 40-yard completions, second only to Patrick Mahomes (13). That number likely will regress, and while Goff again has Amon-Ra St. Brown to target, he’ll be without Jameson Williams the first six games due to suspension. Marvin Jones returned to Detroit in free agency, but he’s now 33. And tight end Sam LaPorta, a second-round pick, was highly effective after the catch in college, but it usually takes tight ends time to adapt to the NFL. In the backfield, first-round pick Jahmyr Gibbs is a skilled pass catcher, replacing D'Andre Swift, while RB David Montgomery takes over for Jamaal Williams as the big back. The Lions have one of the best offensive lines in the league, so Goff should at least have time. Read Past Outlooks

Discussing new deal
Goff and the Lions have begun negotiations on a contract extension, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The same is true for star wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown, one of the team's nine regular starters on offense currently under contract with the Lions for 2024. The two exceptions are wide receiver Josh Reynolds, who averaged 3.8 targets per game last year, and right guard Jonah Jackson, who has already been replaced by 2023 Pro Bowler Kevin Zeitler. Even offensive coordinator Ben Johnson is back for another year, after many assumed he'd leave for a head coaching job. Goff has just one season and $27.3 million remaining on a four-year extension he originally signed with the Rams. What was once viewed as an overpay has now become one of the best values among veteran QB contracts, with the 29-year-old coming off consecutive seasons with more than 4,400 passing yards and at least 29 TDs. Goff hasn't quite been as effective for fantasy managers, as he offers next to nothing on the ground and plays in an offense that got 47 rushing TDs from its running backs over the past two seasons.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Extension isn't imminent
Goff and the Lions aren't close to an extension, despite Detroit having inked both Amon-Ra St. Brown and Penei Sewell to new deals, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Goff and the team have had extension talks throughout the offseason, but a deal isn't imminent. St. Brown and Sewell are much closer to the cream of the crop at their respective positions than Goff is, so Detroit may be reluctant to shell out the long-term money necessary to extend Goff given his up-and-down career to this point. Goff's 59:19 TD:INT over the last two years is almost identical to the 60:19 TD:INT he posted with the Rams in 2017 and 2018, but he had an ugly 61:37 TD:INT across the three seasons in between.

Goff’s biggest accomplishment last year was proving the Rams were wise to trade him for
Matthew Stafford. Goff had the same problem his first season as a Lion that he did previously
with the Rams — downfield passing. On attempts of 15-plus yards, only Sam Darnold had a
lower YPA than Goff’s 8.0. His on-target percentage on such throws was 23rd (51.3). And like
with the Rams, Goff too often was content to check it down. He finished last in the league in
average target depth at 6.4 yards, and only two QBs threw a higher percentage of passes within
five yards of the line of scrimmage (52.0 percent). Goff’s surrounding WR talent wasn’t great,
outside of Amon-Ra St. Brown, who emerged as a rookie while mostly playing the slot. Goff
doesn’t have that excuse this year, as the Lions signed DJ Chark and drafted Jameson Williams
12th overall. T.J. Hockenson returns at tight end after missing five games last year, and the
backfield is stocked with D’Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams.
