Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff has been on fire the last two games facing some of the worst defenses in the NFL. Sunday, he will be put to the test when the Rams head to Minnesota to take on the Vikings and their second-ranked defense.

Goff has not played well against defenses ranked 10th or better this season. In Week 5 vs. the Seattle Seahawks, Goff threw two interceptions and lost a fumble while failing to score a touchdown. The following week he only completed 11 passes for 124 yards against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Goff will have a lot of momentum heading to Minnesota. In each of the last two games, Goff has had at least 300 passing yards and three touchdowns. He also has not turned the ball over since Week 7. Goff has the seventh-most passing yards and touchdowns in the league right now.
Fantasy impact: This week will be the ultimate test for Goff and a tough call for fantasy. On one hand, Goff has played phenomenally since the Rams’ Week 8 bye week. On the other hand, better defenses have given him fits this season. The Vikings defense is actually better against the run and that could force Goff to pass more. He is likely to take a hit in production this week, but Goff has more than enough weapons and momentum to keep him in your lineup this week.
