3. Best fantasy football pickups for Week 17: QB Jared Goff, Detroit Lions

Rostered: 53.8%

Jared Goff is currently the ninth-highest-scoring fantasy quarterback this week. Goff continued his stellar production on Saturday. He threw for 355 yards and three touchdowns, and he rushed for 15 yards. As of Monday morning, he is second among quarterbacks in fantasy points this week (25.7).

Goff has a plethora of weapons in Detroit with wide receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown, DJ Chark, Jameson Williams, and Josh Reynolds and running backs D’Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams. He is well-positioned to keep producing at a high level.

Goff has finished as a top-five fantasy quarterback in three out of his last four games. He is officially on the fantasy radar in all leagues. If you are looking for a streaming option, Goff is a quality pickup. He has an appealing matchup next week against the Chicago Bears, who have given up the ninth-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks.
