How Lamar Jackson should do vs the BengalsSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Bengals, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Lamar Jackson has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Bengals 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 Lamar Jackson will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Bengals avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Lamar Jackson's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Lamar Jackson usually produces.
Projected is Lamar Jackson's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Bengals 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.

| Bengals QB1 avg | 21.0 | 33.4 | 245.0 | 1.0 | 0.6 | 4.4 | 28.6 | 0.4 | 16.7 | |
| Difference | +7.4 | +14.0 | +51.6 | -0.2 | +0.4 | +0.6 | -0.2 | +0.2 | +0.8 | |
Difference is what the defense allows minus what Jackson 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 scoreLamar Jackson vs the Bengals
Prediction for Lamar Jackson
Nobody knows which slot Lamar Jackson will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Bengals.
I predict about 18.5 points for Lamar Jackson if playing as a QB1. Lamar Jackson has averaged 19.8 over 4 games, and the Bengals have given up 16.7 to QB1s (-0% vs the league average of 16.7).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Lamar Jackson scored: Wk 1 25.0, Wk 2 14.8, Wk 3 20.4, Wk 4 18.9. Average 19.8; weighted toward recent games it is 18.5.
2. The defense. Over 5 games, the Bengals allowed 16.7 points to their opponent's QB1. The league average for that slot is 16.7, so that is -0%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 5 defensive games, only 63% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -0% adjustment (x1.00).
4. Result. 18.5 x 1.00 = 18.5. 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 Lamar Jackson is to reach it as a QB1.
Why this percentage?
The projection (18.5) 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 7.4 points, leaning on Lamar Jackson'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 18.
With only 4 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
- QB1s have averaged 245.0 passing yards, 1.0 passing TDs and 28.6 rushing yards against the Bengals across 5 games.
- The Bengals allow 16.7 PPR points to QB1s, -0% versus the league average of 16.7 (ranked 16 of 32, where 1 is most generous). That is a near-average matchup.
- Outlier: Week 2, C.J. Stroud (353 pass yds) sits far above the other games and pulls the averages up. Average with it vs without it: pass yds 245.0 vs 218.0. The table above keeps the raw averages.
- 3 of 5 games reached 15+ PPR points. Scores range from 11.6 to 22.7 (median 17.0).
- Every QB1 in the sample cleared 120 passing yards.
- QB1s scored a touchdown in 4 of 5 games (80%).
