Pierre Strong
RB
Green Bay Packers
- Teammate Christian Watson (a top target) is questionable.
- Backfield mate MarShawn Lloyd is questionable, so Strong could see more carries.
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.
This is how RBs have played against the Buccaneers in the 2026 season.
RB2 = the second-highest-scoring RB against Buccaneers in each game, not a fixed depth-chart spot.

How Pierre Strong should do vs the BuccaneersSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Buccaneers, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Pierre Strong has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Buccaneers opponents to line them up with: the best RB they faced in each game (1), the second best (2), the third best (3), or all of the top three. Nobody knows which slot Pierre Strong will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Buccaneers avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Pierre Strong's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Pierre Strong usually produces.
Projected is Pierre Strong's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Buccaneers 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 Strong averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.
