Projected 15.4 half-PPR points in Week 9, with a likely range of 4.5 to 26.6.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.

| Step | Points | Running total |
|---|---|---|
| Baseline: His role and efficiency over 8 games, with his preseason QB18 ADP at 20% weight, at his usual line | 16.6 | 16.6 |

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.

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.

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
Jordan Love averaged 15.7 half-PPR points per game in 2025 — about what a QB17 draft slot was worth, so the July 2026 price read roughly in line with the production. His snap share fell -15.6pp across the 2025 season.
This week's projection is in the Week 9 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) | 129.1 | Fantasy Football Calculator |
| Overall ADP rank (July 2026) | 132 | Fantasy Football Calculator |
| Fantasy points / game | 15.7 | nflverse |
| Points over expected (FPOE) | +3.9 | nflverse |
| Snap share trend, last 3 vs season (2025) | -15.6pp | nflverse |
| Sleeper search rank (July 2026) | 50 | 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
Jordan Love was drafted as the QB17 — ADP 129.1 — in July 2026. His 15.7 half-PPR points per game in 2025 clears the QB starter line.
