Start / Sit · Riley LeonardLow confidence · 6.9 proj pts1/10 start
- The Cowboys have allowed 18.6 points to QB1s over 8 games (+0% vs league). The model applies 73% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a +0% adjustment.
- No games yet this season, so this uses last season's average (6.2).
- Game environment +7%: Vegas total 51.5, implied 23.0 points for IND (league avg 22.6); Underdog by 5.5: likely to pass more while trailing; Indoors: no weather effect, a small boost for passing and kicking.
- Opposing-defense injuries (+4%): Opposing starter Caleb Downs (S) is questionable, which helps the passing game. Opposing starter Jalen Thompson (CB) is on IR, which helps the passing game.
- Projection: 6.9 points.
- For reference, a typical weekly starter-level QB scores about 19.1 and a top-tier one about 23.8.
- Confidence is low: too few games for either the player or the defense. Use this as a rough lean, not a lock.
- A statistical model from box scores, Vegas lines, weather and injury tags. It cannot see role changes or in-game events.
