Heads up
  • Top target George Pickens is questionable, which can lower the passing game.

A hurt top target or lead back nudges the projection up a little, since their work tends to shift to teammates. QB and offensive-line flags are shown for context but do not change the number.

How Dak Prescott should do vs the RavensSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection

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 Dak Prescott 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 Dak Prescott 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 Dak Prescott's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Dak Prescott usually produces.

Projected is Dak Prescott'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.

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

Prediction & chance to scoreDak Prescott vs the Ravens

Prediction for Dak Prescott

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

If Dak Prescott plays as
20.1
projected PPR points

I predict about 20.1 points for Dak Prescott if playing as a QB1. Dak Prescott has averaged 22.1 over 2 games, and the Ravens have given up 15.7 to QB1s (-7% vs the league average of 16.8).

How this projection is built

1. The player. Dak Prescott scored: Wk 1 14.4, Wk 2 29.8. Average 22.1; weighted toward recent games it is 20.7.

2. The defense. Over 2 games, the Ravens allowed 15.7 points to their opponent's QB1. The league average for that slot is 16.8, 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. 20.7 x 0.97 = 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 Dak Prescott is to reach it as a QB1.

42%
chance of 20+ PPR points
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 Dak Prescott'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 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%.

InsightsPlain-English takeaways from the table
