Jared Goff, Los Angeles Rams – $6,000

Jared Goff has had an amazing season thus far to start his 2018 campaign. This Rams offense is very reminiscent of the “Greatest Show On Turf.” The running game is second to none, the defense even through injury comes up big in tight contests. And Goff isn’t perfect, but he’s very close.

Through five games Goff has amassed a total of 1,727 total passing yards, 12 passing touchdowns on 120 completions with a 72.29 completion percentage. His passing yardage ranks No.1 in the NFL. With the talent that surrounds him Goff is a must-start against any opposing defense.

In Week 5, Goff completed 23-of-32 passes for 321 yards and a touchdown. Brandin Cooks and Cooper Kupp left the game with concussions, but Goff and Todd Gurley still managed to carry the team to a big win in Seattle.

In Week 6 he will face a Denver Broncos defense that ranks 26th overall in the league. Through five games the Broncos have allowed 395.8 total yards, 256.2 passing yards, 139.6 rushing yards, and 26.2 total points per game. Denver has its work cut out in Week 6 against the No.1 overall offense in the NFL.

Goff has averaged 345.4 passing yards per game and 2.4 touchdowns on 24 total completions. The Rams offense has averaged a total of 468.4 yards, 337.2 passing yards, 131.2 rushing yards and 34.6 points per game. Sunday looks to be a blowout win with or without Cooks and Kupp in the lineup.

Prediction: 350 passing yards, 3 touchdowns
