fantasy pts / game (PPR)
- Shrinking role
He's averaging 34.0 dropbacks and runs over his last game, compared with 40.0 before that. Fewer chances cap his ceiling no matter how efficient he is.
- Efficient with his chances
9.1 yards per attempt on the season (the typical QB is at 7.2), and 7.8 over his last game. He is turning volume into yards better than most at his position.
- Touchdown-dependent
60% of his fantasy points come from touchdowns. Touchdowns swing a lot from week to week, so expect some regression unless his volume grows.
- Tough recent schedule
Opponents in his last game (LAC) give up less EPA per play than the league average. He has been producing against strong opponents, so the numbers are probably underselling him.
- Strong supporting cast
BUF are averaging +0.30 EPA per play on offense. An efficient offense sustains drives and creates more scoring chances.
