How C.J. Stroud should do vs the JaguarsSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection

Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Jaguars, plus a projection for this game.

What is this table?

Rows at the top are every game C.J. Stroud has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.

Compare against picks which group of Jaguars 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 C.J. Stroud will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.

Jaguars avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus C.J. Stroud's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than C.J. Stroud usually produces.

Projected is C.J. Stroud's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Jaguars 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 Stroud 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 · C.J. StroudMedium confidence · 14.8 proj ptsFlex
  • C.J. Stroud averages 16.7 PPR points over 2 games (recent-weighted 16.8) and has played as the team's QB1.
  • The Jaguars have allowed 14.1 points to QB1s over 2 games (-17% vs league). The model applies 40% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a -7% adjustment.
  • Last season's average (14.9) is blended in at 50% weight because this season's sample is small.
  • Projection: 14.8 points.
  • For reference, a typical weekly starter-level QB scores about 18.1 and a top-tier one about 24.5.

Prediction & chance to scoreC.J. Stroud vs the Jaguars

Prediction for C.J. Stroud

Nobody knows which slot C.J. Stroud will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Jaguars.

If C.J. Stroud plays as
14.8
projected PPR points

I predict about 14.8 points for C.J. Stroud if playing as a QB1. C.J. Stroud has averaged 16.7 over 2 games, and the Jaguars have given up 14.1 to QB1s (-17% vs the league average of 16.9).

How this projection is built

1. The player. C.J. Stroud scored: Wk 1 16.5, Wk 2 17.0. Average 16.7; weighted toward recent games it is 15.8.

2. The defense. Over 2 games, the Jaguars allowed 14.1 points to their opponent's QB1. The league average for that slot is 16.9, so that is -17%.

3. Trusting small samples less. With 2 defensive games, only 40% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -7% adjustment (x0.93).

4. Result. 15.8 x 0.93 = 14.8. 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 C.J. Stroud is to reach it as a QB1.

41%
chance of 15+ PPR points
Why this percentage?

The projection (14.8) 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 8.9 points, leaning on C.J. Stroud'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 15.

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%.
