Outlook Jared Goff

Steady Passing Volume and Elite Weapons Solidify High-Floor QB1 Appeal

Jared Goff has established himself as an incredibly reliable signal-caller for Detroit, fresh off a massive 2025 campaign where he compiled 4,843 passing yards and 36 touchdowns. Operating behind a confident, revamped offensive line, he remains the unquestioned leader of a potent passing attack featuring elite options like Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, and Sam LaPorta.

Our models project another highly efficient season for Goff, forecasting 4,246 passing yards and 30 touchdowns. While his lack of rushing upside caps his overall ceiling in fantasy leagues, his consistent passing volume and strong ball protection, with only 10 projected interceptions, make him an exceptionally safe weekly starting option.

Currently going off the board near an ADP of 120, Goff represents an incredible draft-day value. Despite brief market spikes into earlier rounds, his draft cost has stabilized, making him a perfect target for fantasy managers who prefer waiting on the quarterback position.

Outlook Bo Nix

Underappreciated Consistency and Upgraded Weapons Make Denver's Signal-Caller a Late-Round Value

Nix is progressing well from offseason ankle cleanup surgery, already participating in walkthroughs and on track to be fully healthy for training camp. As Denver's starting quarterback, he is poised to pilot an offense that recently added playmaker Jaylen Waddle to play alongside Courtland Sutton.

Our models project Nix to throw for 3,777 yards and 26 touchdowns, while adding 335 yards and four scores on the ground. This projection aligns closely with his career history, where he averaged over 3,850 passing yards and 27 passing touchdowns over his first two active seasons.

Currently going off the board with an ADP around 110, his summer draft cost has remained stable. With a high rostered rate of 90% but active start rate of 45%, our data suggests he is an ideal late-round value target and premium backup in standard formats.
