Should You Start or Sit Goff in Week 13?
Jared Goff finishing with 279 passing yards and a pair of touchdowns last week was an impressive showing when you consider what Jahmyr Gibbs was doing on the ground.
We’ve seen his pass attempt count tick up in every week since Dan Campbell took over playcalling duties and with the balance of this run game, I like the projectable efficiency of Goff moving forward.
The interception last week was off the hands of Amon-Ra St. Brown in the red zone: the final stat line looks different if that drive finishes with a touchdown, something that happens more often than not.
Jameson Williams getting shut out was curious, but Goff funneling 65.8% of his targeted passes to St. Brown or Gibbs is encouraging. This is a loaded offense that traditionally thrives when playing inside and with them showing strong signs of concentration, I’ve got this labeled as a top 5 offense for the remainder of the season.
This Packers defense can create chaos at a high level, but I’m looking for Campbell to scheme up a quick hitting attack and I think that plays well. Give me Goff as a top 10 QB in the first game of the week.
