Prediction & chance to scoreJoe Burrow vs the Texans
Prediction for Joe Burrow
Nobody knows which slot Joe Burrow will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Texans.
I predict about 20.1 points for Joe Burrow if playing as a QB1. Joe Burrow has averaged 14.2 over 1 game, and the Texans have given up 35.7 to QB1s (+105% vs the league average of 17.4).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Joe Burrow scored: Wk 1 14.2. Average 14.2; weighted toward recent games it is 15.9.
2. The defense. Over 1 game, the Texans allowed 35.7 points to their opponent's QB1. The league average for that slot is 17.4, so that is +105%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 1 defensive game, only 25% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a +26% adjustment (x1.26).
4. Result. 15.9 x 1.26 = 20.1. 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 Joe Burrow is to reach it as a QB1.
Why this percentage?
The projection (20.1) 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 12.1 points, leaning on Joe Burrow'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 20.
With only 1 game 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%.
InsightsPlain-English takeaways from the table
- QB1s have averaged 334.0 passing yards, 2.0 passing TDs and 23.0 rushing yards against the Texans across 1 game.
- The Texans allow 35.7 PPR points to QB1s, +105% versus the league average of 17.4 (ranked 2 of 32, where 1 is most generous). That is a favorable matchup.
- QB1s scored a touchdown in 1 of 1 games (100%).
- Small sample: only 1 game so far. Treat these numbers as directional, not settled.

Start / Sit · Joe BurrowMedium confidence · 19.5 proj ptsStart
- Joe Burrow averages 15.2 PPR points over 2 games (recent-weighted 15.3) and has played as the team's QB1.
- The Texans have allowed 25.9 points to QB1s over 2 games (+53% vs league). The model applies 40% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a +21% adjustment.
- Last season's average (16.8) is blended in at 50% weight because this season's sample is small.
- Projection: 19.5 points.
- For reference, a typical weekly starter-level QB scores about 18.1 and a top-tier one about 24.5.

Joe Burrow's stats vs the TexansSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Texans, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Joe Burrow has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Texans 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 Joe Burrow will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Texans avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Joe Burrow's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Joe Burrow usually produces.
Projected is Joe Burrow's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Texans 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 | 28.4 | 41.7 | 291.0 | 1.9 | 0.6 | 3.8 | 12.0 | 0.0 | 20.1 | |
Difference is what the defense allows minus what Burrow averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.
