fantasy pts / game (PPR)
- Bigger role
He's averaging 36.0 dropbacks and runs over his last game, compared with 17.0 before that. More opportunity is the main reason the production has risen.
- Inefficient touches
6.3 yards per attempt on the season (the typical QB is at 7.2), and 5.9 over his last game. Production is being propped up by volume more than explosiveness.
- Touchdown-dependent
55% 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 (SEA) give up less EPA per play than the league average. He has been producing against strong opponents, so the numbers are probably underselling him.
