While we won’t have an answer as to Penny’s longevity until later this year, we did see a reappearance of 2021 down-the-stretch Penny against the Lions this past Sunday.

Unfortunately, Penny only played in 37 of 65 regular season games during his rookie contract because of injuries, so Penny’s statistical outburst late in the 2021 season was clouded by whether he could stay healthy for a full 2022 season. Rashaad Penny, RB – SEA: 17 carries, 151 yards, 2 TDsĪnalysis: The Seahawks were widely panned for selecting RB Rashaad Penny in the first round of the 2018 draft, partly due to positional value and also due to the success of Cleveland Browns’ star RB Nick Chubb, who went just a few picks later. Goff should land as a high end QB2 range for this matchup, with some even better matchups coming up down the road. The Lions face the Patriots next week, which present a tougher face against the pass than versus the rush. Goff sits in the low end QB1 range against weaker defenses, and should stay on your bench against defenses which bring lots of pressure. So what we’ve got here is a QB who should command your fantasy attention…in good matchups. Breaking down Goff’s game to a simple statement…Goff does well when not pressured, and things tend to break down severely for him when pressured. Goff has now thrown for 4 TDs in two of his four games, with only one start resulting in less than 2 TDs. Granted he faced a sieve of a defense in the Seahawks, but stats are stats. Brown) and rushing option (D’Andre Swift), and…emerged with 4 TD tosses and 378 passing yards.

Goff entered Week 4 without his top pass catching weapon (Amon-Ra St. The 2022 season has reinforced this fact, as through the four game mark, Goff sits at 3 rd in yardage, while tied for 1 st in TDs and 8 th in ESPN’s QBR ranking among all NFL quarterbacks. Yes, sometimes the Lions’ QB “goofs” on his decision making, but that masks the fact that Goff can post crooked numbers with the right environs around him. Jared Goff, QB – DET: 26-39, 378 yards, 4 TDs, 1 INTĪnalysis: Goff has occasionally been referred to as Jared Goof on Twitter, typically after making some inexplicable, pick-six type throw. Hock remains a weekly must-start at tight end.Įach week we’ll take a closer look at a handful of performances and sort out what such performances mean going forward. Goff found Hockenson for 179 yards and 2 TDs. Brown this past Sunday, with the Seahawks having no answers in covering him. Hockenson stepped up in the absence of star WR Amon-Ra St. A trip overseas righted the ship for Jefferson, with 147 receiving yards and a rushing TD versus the Saints. Much panicking also followed Vikings star wideout Justin Jefferson in response to his ultra quiet Week 2 and 3 performances. Touchdown regression was always likely for the Chargers’ star RB this season, but Ekeler remains a top 5 fantasy RB on the strength of his role in both the rushing and passing games. Ekeler found the end zone three times against the Texans, looking like his vintage 2021 self. We’ll take a closer look at Goff below.įor those panicking about Austin Ekeler’s slow 2022 start, you may rest easy now. QB Jared Goff tossed 4 TDs and nearly 400 passing yards in the losing effort. The Detroit Lions’ offense has started out hot for the first quarter of the NFL season, and there’s nothing quite like facing the Seahawks’ defense (except for facing the Lions’ defense) in order to maintain Tecmo Bowl numbers. WR: Justin Jefferson, MIN: 10 catches, 147 yards, 0 TDs (1 carry, 3 yards, 1 TD) RB: Austin Ekeler, LAC: 13 carries, 60 yards, 2 TDs (6 catches, 49 yards, 1 TD) QB: Jared Goff, DET: 26-39, 378 yards, 4 TDs, 1 INT
