Why Dart ranks #5

  • Jaxson Dart has reached 2+ passing TDs in 1 of 1 game this season.
  • Dart has 3 passing TDs in 1 game (3.00 per game) on 29.0 pass attempts per game. With a small sample, that is blended with what a typical QB at this workload produces (1.44 per game), giving 1.83 per game.
  • The Rams have allowed 3.00 passing TDs per game to QBs over 1 game, versus a league average of 1.56 (+92%). Only 20% of that gap is applied because the sample is small, a x1.18 adjustment.
  • Game environment (passing TDs x1.02): Vegas total 47.5, implied 20.5 points for NYG (league avg 22.5); Underdog by 6.5: likely to pass more while trailing; Indoors: no weather effect, a small boost for passing and kicking.
  • Expected passing TDs this week: 2.25. That makes the chance of 2+ passing TDs 66%.
  • Small sample: only 1 game so far, so treat this as directional.
How the math works

Rate: (actual total + 3 games of the typical rate) divided by (games played + 3). This keeps one or two games from swinging the estimate.

Matchup: the opponent's allowed rate to QBs divided by the league average, with only n/(n+4) of the gap applied and limited to x0.7 to x1.4.

Chance: expected 2.25, converted with a Poisson count model to the chance of 2+.
