STM Take
A steady, high-efficiency pocket passer with the ceiling already set.
The case for
- Three consecutive tier-1 STTM finishes, the most stable top-five profile at the position outside of Allen.
- 65.8 percent career completion percentage with 256 career touchdowns against 102 picks. The volume case is fully built.
The worry
- Age 32 with effectively no rushing component (596 career rushing yards, 12 TDs across 10 seasons), so any pocket-cleanliness slip shows up immediately.
- Detroit's offense has trended more run-balanced; if attempts compress further, the fantasy ceiling caps even if efficiency holds.
What to watch: Whether Detroit's offensive-line health holds, because the entire profile is built on clean-pocket throws.
Full take and bio
Goff sits STTM #4 tier 1 in 2025, his third straight tier-1 year and the fourth in five seasons in Detroit. The profile is steady-state: high-volume, high-efficiency pocket passer running the league's most coherent offense. Ceiling is essentially set; the only variable is whether the Lions' run-game share keeps trending up and compressing his attempts.
Goff was born in Novato, California to a former Major League Baseball player and set 26 records at Cal before the Rams took him first overall in the 2016 NFL Draft. He led Los Angeles to Super Bowl LIII in his third year, was traded to Detroit in 2021, and has since made four Pro Bowls including back-to-back nods in 2024 and 2025. He owns the NFL record for most pass attempts in a game without an incompletion (18) and most career attempts with a perfect passer rating.
