Fantasy Tiers

Jared Goff: Tier 2 (Strong Starter) QB (ranked #12 at the position). Will Levis: Tier 5 (Deep League) QB (ranked #99 at the position). Among the top 32 quarterbacks this season, Jared Goff is producing at 80% of elite pace and Will Levis at 60%. That ranking gap means Jared Goff carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Jared Goff vs Will Levis: The Full Breakdown

If you are choosing between Jared Goff and Will Levis for your lineup, you are not alone. Jared Goff finished the 2025 season at 17.5 PPG for the Detroit Lions (17 games), and Will Levis averaged 13.2 for the Tennessee Titans (14 games).

That 4.3-point weekly advantage for Jared Goff is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.

Both lean on arm talent and offensive scheme as traditional pocket passers. Jared Goff threw for 4564 yards and 34 touchdowns, while Will Levis posted 2780 yards and 17 scores. Volume, red zone efficiency, and game script are the key week-to-week differentiators when neither carries rushing upside.

One scheduling note: Jared Goff is off Week 6 and Will Levis Week 5. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in quarterback for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Jared Goff is a buy in trades where the other manager is chasing upside at a different position. Will Levis is a hold unless you can flip him for a positional upgrade elsewhere on your roster. Dynasty outlook: Jared Goff (age 31) is on the back end of his prime. Strong now, but dynasty value declines year over year. Will Levis (age 27) is in his prime window. Peak production now with steady value for the next 3-4 seasons.
