Jared Goff Start or sit, Week 5

This week's outlook

Goff is healthy and priced reasonably at $6,600 against Arizona. He's shown multi-touchdown upside in recent outings, including a 331-yard, 331-yard game and a two-score performance in Week 1. A matchup allowing the Lions to throw often would support another solid passing day, but a run-heavy script would cap his ceiling.
