Projected 5.9 half-PPR points in Week 10, with a likely range of 0.0 to 14.9.Half-PPREvery catch is worth half a point. It is the middle ground between PPR and standard scoring, where catches score nothing on their own.More in the glossary ProjectionOur estimate of a player’s fantasy points this week, built from his share of his team’s targets, carries and passes, how much his team is expected to score, and his preseason value. It is a middle outcome, not a promise.More in the glossary Limited data: only 1 2026 game behind this projection, so it leans on an undrafted RB's baseline (67% weight). Expect it to move.

Forecast 5.9 Half-PPR points: the Vegas line adds 0.2, the matchup nothing. Show how it is built.
| Step | Points | Running total |
|---|---|---|
| Baseline: His role and efficiency over 1 game, pulled toward an undrafted RB's baseline at 67% weight, at his usual line | 5.7 | 5.7 |
| Vegas: IND implied 21.0 vs 17.8 in his games | +0.2 | 5.9 |
| Matchup: MIA 8th softest vs RB: already in the Vegas line | 0.0 | 5.9 |
| Availability: No designation, no teammate ruled out | 0.0 | 5.9 |
| Projection | 5.9 | 5.9 |
Each step is the change from switching that factor on, in this order, so the steps add up to the projection. The matchup adds nothing with a line: the model's backtest found the line already prices the defense.
- Implied total · implied team totalHow many points Vegas expects one team to score, worked out from the game total and the point spread. Higher totals mean more scoring chances for that offense.More in the glossary Context: IND is implied for 21.0 points, 19th-highest of 26 teams with a line this week.
- Matchup (DvP) · defense vs positionHow many fantasy points this week’s opponent has allowed to a position, ranked 1 to 32. “3rd softest” allows the 3rd-most, “1st toughest” the fewest. Our projections treat it as context, because the Vegas line already prices the matchup in.More in the glossary No effect this week: MIA is the 8th softest of 32 defenses against RBs (the 1st toughest allows the fewest fantasy points). It is context, not in the projection: with a Vegas line, the model adds nothing for the matchup.

PPR pts is nflverse's full-PPR total for the game; the smaller line under it is the same game in Half-PPR, then Standard (half a point, and a point, less per catch). "Score this game" opens the fantasy point calculator with that exact line loaded, to re-score it in your league's settings. A dash means nflverse has no figure for that game yet. "Did not play" means his team played but nflverse has no stat line for him, which is usually an injury or an inactive game day; it scores 0.0 and is left out of his per-game averages. The injury designation shows only for the week the latest report covers.
