Projected from a drive-level simulation of this game, run thousands of times. A projection, not a play — the market is sharper than we are on NFL props, and we say so.

The book's line, J.J.'s projected number, and both sides' odds on the over — ours out of the same simulation as the projection above, the market's de-vigged so the hold isn't counted as disagreement. Where they split, the market is usually right. We grade ourselves against it and we lose on NFL props, so read this as a reference point, not a play.

This week

J.J. is on the road against PHI. We project 237.5 passing yards, 15.2 rushing yards. The number comes out of a drive-level simulation of the game rather than a season average — it asks how many possessions his side is likely to get, what they do with them, and how much of that flows through him.

How much he's on the field

81% — that's J.J.'s average snap share over 13 games. That's a full-time role. Snap share at this level is the most stable input we have — it changes slowly, and it survives a bad game in a way that yardage never does. This is the number to check first on any football page. Everything else here is downstream of it.

What kind of quarterback he is

J.J. has completed 171 of 292 (59%) for 2127 yards, 12 touchdowns and 13 interceptions — 7.3 yards an attempt. He's also run for 210 yards, which matters more than it looks: rushing production is the most reliable floor a quarterback has, because it doesn't depend on anyone catching anything. Yards per attempt is the number to watch: completion percentage rewards checkdowns, and a quarterback can complete 70% of his passes without ever threatening anybody.

His last 5 games

Over that stretch J.J. has 841 total yards. Worth noting: his snap share is trending down — 51% lately against 81% overall. A handful of games is thin evidence in a seventeen-game season. It nudges the projection; it doesn't drive it.

How the model reads him

J.J.'s projection starts with the game, not with him. We simulate the matchup drive by drive — how many possessions each side gets, how far they travel, how often they score — and then ask what share of that flows through him given his role. That ordering matters: a productive player on a team that runs 55 plays a game has a lower ceiling than a lesser one on a team that runs 70.

What we'd flag

Read this knowing the limits. A seventeen-game season makes every rate noisy; game script can invert a player's usage inside one afternoon; and depth-chart changes often surface too late to be in the projection.

J.J. McCarthy — FAQ

What is J.J. McCarthy projected for this week?

J.J. McCarthy faces PHI on the road. The projection on this page comes from a drive-level simulation of that game — possessions, how far each side moves, and what share flows through him — rather than from a season average.
