fantasy pts / game (PPR)
- Bigger role
He's averaging 48.0 dropbacks and runs over his last game, compared with 38.0 before that. More opportunity is the main reason the production has risen.
- League-average efficiency
7.8 yards per attempt on the season (the typical QB is at 7.2), and 6.1 over his last game.
- Touchdown-dependent
49% of his fantasy points come from touchdowns. Touchdowns swing a lot from week to week, so expect some regression unless his volume grows.
- Soft recent schedule
Opponents in his last game (CLE) give up more EPA per play than the league average. Some of the recent production comes from the matchups.
- Struggling offense around him
CAR are averaging -0.12 EPA per play on offense. Stalled drives and fewer red-zone trips limit what he can produce.
