J.J. McCarthy
QB
New York Giants
- Top target Malik Nabers 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.
This is how QBs have played against the Rams in the 2026 season.

How J.J. McCarthy should do vs the RamsSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Rams, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game J.J. McCarthy has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Rams 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 J.J. McCarthy will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Rams avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus J.J. McCarthy's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than J.J. McCarthy usually produces.
Projected is J.J. McCarthy's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Rams 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 | +9.5 | +9.5 | -42.5 | +2.5 | +0.5 | +3.5 | +15.5 | +0.0 | +7.9 | |
Difference is what the defense allows minus what McCarthy averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.
