How Jaxson Dart should do 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 Jaxson Dart 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 Jaxson Dart 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 Jaxson Dart's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Jaxson Dart usually produces.

Projected is Jaxson Dart'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.

Difference is what the defense allows minus what Dart averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.

Start / Sit · Jaxson DartMedium confidence · 27.1 proj ptsMust Start
  • Jaxson Dart averages 26.6 PPR points over 1 game (recent-weighted 26.6) 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 (20.1) is blended in at 67% weight because this season's sample is small.
  • Projection: 27.1 points.
  • For reference, a typical weekly starter-level QB scores about 18.1 and a top-tier one about 24.5.

Prediction & chance to scoreJaxson Dart vs the Texans

Prediction for Jaxson Dart

Nobody knows which slot Jaxson Dart will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Texans.

If Jaxson Dart plays as
27.1
projected PPR points

I predict about 27.1 points for Jaxson Dart if playing as a QB1. Jaxson Dart has averaged 26.6 over 1 game, and the Texans have given up 25.9 to QB1s (+53% vs the league average of 16.9).

How this projection is built

1. The player. Jaxson Dart scored: Wk 1 26.6. Average 26.6; weighted toward recent games it is 22.3.

2. The defense. Over 2 games, the Texans allowed 25.9 points to their opponent's QB1. The league average for that slot is 16.9, so that is +53%.

3. Trusting small samples less. With 2 defensive games, only 40% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a +21% adjustment (x1.21).

4. Result. 22.3 x 1.21 = 27.1. 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 Jaxson Dart is to reach it as a QB1.

42%
chance of 27+ PPR points
Why this percentage?

The projection (27.1) 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 16.2 points, leaning on Jaxson Dart'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 27.

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%.
