fantasy pts / game (PPR)
- Stable workload
His usage has held around 23.0 dropbacks and runs per game, so the swings come from what he does with the ball, not how often he gets it.
- League-average efficiency
7.1 yards per attempt on the season (the typical QB is at 7.2), and 7.2 over his last game.
- Touchdown-dependent
51% of his fantasy points come from touchdowns. Touchdowns swing a lot from week to week, so expect some regression unless his volume grows.
- Protecting the football
He's throwing an interception on 0.0% of his attempts. Low turnover risk keeps drives alive and his floor high.
- Tough recent schedule
Opponents in his last game (CHI) give up less EPA per play than the league average. He has been producing against strong opponents, so the numbers are probably underselling him.
- Struggling offense around him
MIN are averaging -0.17 EPA per play on offense. Stalled drives and fewer red-zone trips limit what he can produce.
