What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Gardner Minshew has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Chargers 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 Gardner Minshew will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Chargers avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Gardner Minshew's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Gardner Minshew usually produces.
Projected is Gardner Minshew's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Chargers 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.
