Prediction for Deshaun Watson
Nobody knows which slot Deshaun Watson will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Ravens.
I predict about 16.7 points for Deshaun Watson if playing as a QB1. Deshaun Watson has averaged 16.9 over 2 games, and the Ravens have given up 15.7 to QB1s (-7% vs the league average of 16.9).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Deshaun Watson scored: Wk 1 14.0, Wk 2 19.7. Average 16.9; weighted toward recent games it is 17.2.
2. The defense. Over 2 games, the Ravens allowed 15.7 points to their opponent's QB1. The league average for that slot is 16.9, so that is -7%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 2 defensive games, only 40% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -3% adjustment (x0.97).
4. Result. 17.2 x 0.97 = 16.7. Switching slots only changes step 2 and 3: the player's own numbers stay the same, but each slot faces a different defensive average.
It is a statistical model, not knowledge of injuries, game script or weather.
Chance to score
Type a point total to see how likely Deshaun Watson is to reach it as a QB1.
Why this percentage?
The projection (16.7) is the middle of the range. Fantasy scores swing a lot from game to game, so the model spreads possible scores around it by about 10.0 points, leaning on Deshaun Watson's own game-to-game swings once there are several games (and on typical QB swings before that).
Scores are modelled as right-skewed, since a big game is possible but a very negative one is not. The percentage is the share of that spread at or above 17.
With only 2 games of history, treat this as a rough gauge. It gets sharper as the season goes on. It is never lower than 1% or higher than 99%.

- Deshaun Watson averages 16.9 PPR points over 2 games (recent-weighted 17.2) and has played as the team's QB1.
- The Ravens have allowed 15.7 points to QB1s over 2 games (-7% vs league). The model applies 40% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a -3% adjustment.
- Projection: 16.7 points.
- For reference, a typical weekly starter-level QB scores about 18.1 and a top-tier one about 24.5.

Deshaun Watson's stats vs the Ravens
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Ravens, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Deshaun Watson has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Ravens opponents to line them up with: the best QB they faced in each game (1), the second best (2), the third best (3), or all of the top three. Nobody knows which slot Deshaun Watson will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Ravens avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Deshaun Watson's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Deshaun Watson usually produces.
Projected is Deshaun Watson's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Ravens were to the slot you picked. Change the slot and the projected points change, because each slot has a different matchup adjustment. Picking Top 3 uses the usual-role projection.

| Projected as QB1 | 19.4 | 25.3 | 215.3 | 1.5 | 0.5 | 6.3 | 29.2 | 0.0 | 16.7 | |
Difference is what the defense allows minus what Watson averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.
