ANALYSIS: A week after throwing three touchdowns in New Orleans, Jared Goff predictably fell way back down to earth in Week 13 when the Rams couldn’t get much going in New England. Week 14 poses a much easier matchup for the rookie quarterback when the Rams head back to Los Angeles to take on the Falcons.
Atlanta’s defense has been hammered enough in this column, but we’re going to recite it all again as it bears repeating. The Falcons continue to lead the league in fantasy points surrendered to opposing quarterbacks, with that average up to 21.30 points per-week. Their defense was actually bailed out to an extent in Week 13, as the two pick six’s Matt Ryan threw meant two less offensive possessions the Chiefs needed to have (and less possessions where they trailed and needed to throw the ball). Smith still threw for 270 yards and a touchdown, and that could have easily been more had the Chiefs had the ball more. Considering this will only be the fourth time Goff has seen real NFL action, he is of course a wild card. But given the fact he was able to take advantage of a terrible Saints defense two weeks ago, there’s no reason he can’t do the same to an arguably worse unit in Week 14.
