How Kenny Pickett should do vs the SeahawksSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Seahawks, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Kenny Pickett has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Seahawks 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 Kenny Pickett will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Seahawks avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Kenny Pickett's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Kenny Pickett usually produces.
Projected is Kenny Pickett's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Seahawks 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 Pickett 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 · Kenny PickettMedium confidence · 1.6 proj pts1/10 start
- Kenny Pickett averages 2.9 PPR points over 2 games (recent-weighted 2.9) and has played as the team's QB1.
- The Seahawks have allowed 10.9 points to QB1s over 8 games (-34% vs league). The model applies 73% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a -25% adjustment.
- Last season's average (1.3) is blended in at 50% weight because this season's sample is small.
- Projection: 1.6 points.
- For reference, a typical weekly starter-level QB scores about 19.1 and a top-tier one about 23.8.

Prediction & chance to scoreKenny Pickett vs the Seahawks
Prediction for Kenny Pickett
Nobody knows which slot Kenny Pickett will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Seahawks.
I predict about 1.6 points for Kenny Pickett if playing as a QB1. Kenny Pickett has averaged 2.9 over 2 games, and the Seahawks have given up 10.9 to QB1s (-34% vs the league average of 16.5).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Kenny Pickett scored: Wk 1 2.4, Wk 7 3.4. Average 2.9; weighted toward recent games it is 2.1.
2. The defense. Over 8 games, the Seahawks allowed 10.9 points to their opponent's QB1. The league average for that slot is 16.5, so that is -34%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 8 defensive games, only 73% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -25% adjustment (x0.75).
4. Result. 2.1 x 0.75 = 1.6. 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 Kenny Pickett is to reach it as a QB1.
Why this percentage?
The projection (1.6) 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 1.0 points, leaning on Kenny Pickett'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 2.
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
- QB1s have averaged 169.1 passing yards, 1.1 passing TDs and 16.0 rushing yards against the Seahawks across 8 games.
- The Seahawks allow 10.9 PPR points to QB1s, -34% versus the league average of 16.5 (ranked 31 of 32, where 1 is most generous). That is a tough matchup.
- Outlier: Week 3, Marcus Mariota (20.4 pts) sits far above the other games and pulls the averages up. Average with it vs without it: pts 10.9 vs 9.5. The table above keeps the raw averages.
- 2 of 8 games reached 15+ PPR points. Scores range from 4.5 to 20.4 (median 9.7).
- Every QB1 in the sample cleared 80 passing yards.
- QB1s scored a touchdown in 6 of 8 games (75%).
