Forecast 17.3 Half-PPR points: the Vegas line adds 0.4, the matchup nothing. Show how it is built.
| Step | Points | Running total |
|---|---|---|
| Baseline: His role and efficiency over 2 games, with his preseason QB7 ADP at 50% weight, at his usual line | 16.9 | 16.9 |
| Vegas: WAS implied 23.8 vs 21.7 in his games | +0.4 | 17.3 |
| Matchup: NYG 16th toughest vs QB: already in the Vegas line | 0.0 | 17.3 |
| Availability: Status unknown: projected as if he plays | 0.0 | 17.3 |
| Projection | 17.3 | 17.3 |
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.
- Context: WAS is implied for 23.8 points, 11th-highest of 30 teams with a line this week.
- Context: NYG ranks 17th of 32 defenses in fantasy points allowed to QBs, where 1st allows the most (context, not in the projection).
- Context: kickoff-hour forecast SE 7 mph, under the 15 mph wind line.

PPR pts is nflverse's full-PPR total for the game. "Score this game" opens the fantasy point calculator with that exact line loaded, to re-score it in Standard, Half-PPR or 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; the injury designation shows only for the week the latest report covers.

The July 2026 draft-day read
This is the July 2026 pre-draft read, kept as published. Every ADP and market figure on this page comes from the Fantasy Football Calculator snapshot of Jul 15, 2026 and is not updated in-season — 2026 drafts are over and ADP has stopped moving. In-season tools
Jayden Daniels's 16.3 half-PPR points per game in 2025 sit below what a QB9 draft price usually buys — July 2026 drafters were paying for projection, not the previous season's line. His snap share fell -13.0pp across the 2025 season.
This week's projection is in the Week 5 card above. The July 2026 draft-day read is opinion, framed from the cited 2025 data.
The numbers behind the read
| Metric | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| ADP (July 2026) | 84.4 | Fantasy Football Calculator |
| Overall ADP rank (July 2026) | 88 | Fantasy Football Calculator |
| Fantasy points / game | 16.3 | nflverse |
| Points over expected (FPOE) | +2.8 | nflverse |
| Snap share trend, last 3 vs season (2025) | -13.0pp | nflverse |
| Sleeper search rank (July 2026) | 9 | Sleeper |
xFP (expected fantasy points) is what a typical player would score with the same targets, carries and field position. FPOE (points over expected) is actual points minus xFP, per game.
The consensus read
Jayden Daniels was drafted as the QB9 — ADP 84.4 — in July 2026. His 16.3 half-PPR points per game in 2025 clears the QB starter line.
- ADP 84.4
- Overall ADP rank 88
- Sleeper search rank 9
- Fantasy points / game 16.3
