Three weeks of projections tell you more than one. This is the rest-of-season board for the next three games: PPR projections for Week 7 plus Weeks 8 and 9, added up. Numbers as of Oct 22, 2026.
How to read it. The 3-week total is the sum of the three projections. Week 8 is that week's projection alone. Season PPG and last 3 PPG are scoring so far. Players with no projection for one of the three weeks are left out of the tables and covered in a note below.
Running backs: the 3-week leaders
| Rank | Player | Team | 3-week total | Week 8 | Season PPG | Last 3 PPG | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Jahmyr Gibbs | DET | 75.7 | 23.2 | 30.7 | 32.3 | Active |
| 2 | Bijan Robinson | ATL | 69.2 | 21.5 | 21.4 | 16.9 | Active |
| 3 | Kenneth Walker III | KC | 62.3 | 21.2 | 27.6 | 26.7 | Active |
| 4 | Kyren Williams | LAR | 58.4 | 19.2 | 19.8 | 22 | Active |
| 5 | Javonte Williams | DAL | 57.2 | 19.6 | 18.2 | 19.5 | Active |
| 6 | Jonathan Taylor | IND | 57 | 18.2 | 19.8 | 18.3 | Active |
| 7 | Chuba Hubbard | CAR | 49.8 | 17.3 | 19.6 | 20 | Active |
| 8 | Derrick Henry | BAL | 48.9 | 16.3 | 19.5 | 14 | Active |
Jahmyr Gibbs leads every back at 75.7, 6.5 points clear of Bijan Robinson (69.2). Jahmyr Gibbs projects for 25.2 a week, 5.5 under his 30.7 season average, and he still tops the board. Among the ten highest 3-week totals for RBs, WRs and TEs, 6 are running backs and 4 are wide receivers.
Wide receivers: the 3-week leaders
| Rank | Player | Team | 3-week total | Week 8 | Season PPG | Last 3 PPG | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Jaxon Smith-Njigba | SEA | 75.6 | 25.4 | 27.5 | 20.3 | Active |
| 2 | Puka Nacua | LAR | 68.1 | 22 | 23 | 26.5 | Active |
| 3 | Amon-Ra St. Brown | DET | 58.3 | 17.4 | 20.8 | 13.4 | Active |
| 4 | CeeDee Lamb | DAL | 56.9 | 20.4 | 21.8 | 20.1 | Active |
| 5 | Zay Flowers | BAL | 56.4 | 18.5 | 18.9 | 17.7 | Active |
| 6 | Ja'Marr Chase | CIN | 56.1 | 19.3 | 16 | 16.7 | Active |
| 7 | Justin Jefferson | MIN | 52.6 | 18.9 | 15.9 | 10.8 | Questionable |
| 8 | Drake London | ATL | 52.4 | 17.9 | 14.7 | 15.2 | Active |
Jaxon Smith-Njigba is the top receiver at 75.6, ahead of Puka Nacua at 68.1. Jaxon Smith-Njigba projects for 25.2 a week, 2.3 under his 27.5 season average. Across the 16 players in the two tables, 7 are scoring more over their last three games than their season average. Justin Jefferson (Questionable) is the only player in the two tables with an injury tag. Check status before you move him.
Two weeks of projection only. 10 running backs and receivers among the top 60 players by value have no projection for one of the three weeks, so their totals run short. Compare them by average instead: Christian McCaffrey (22.1 per projected week), Nico Collins (18.1 per projected week) and Chris Olave (16.8 per projected week). Multiply by three only if you trust the missing week.
Quarterbacks and tight ends
Among quarterbacks with all three weeks projected, Drake Maye leads at 66, then Lamar Jackson (65.4) and Jared Goff (57.1). Josh Allen has projections for two of the three weeks and averages 22.9 per projected week, the best weekly rate of any quarterback.
At tight end, Trey McBride leads at 49.6, then Brock Bowers (49.5) and Sam LaPorta (38.5).
Projection vs recent form: who to trade for, who to move
| Player | Pos | Avg weekly projection | Last 3 PPG | Last 3 minus projection | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Malik Nabers | WR | 13.7 | 26.9 | +13.2 | Active |
| Drake Maye | QB | 22 | 29.8 | +7.8 | Active |
| Jahmyr Gibbs | RB | 25.2 | 32.3 | +7.1 | Active |
| DeVonta Smith | WR | 13.2 | 20.2 | +7.0 | Active |
| Saquon Barkley | RB | 14 | 4.7 | -9.3 | Questionable |
| Bo Nix | QB | 16.4 | 8.7 | -7.7 | Active |
| Justin Jefferson | WR | 17.5 | 10.8 | -6.7 | Questionable |
| Bijan Robinson | RB | 23.1 | 16.9 | -6.2 | Active |
The table pairs each player's average weekly projection for Weeks 7-9 with his last 3 PPG. Only players with three recent games and at least 12 projected points a week qualify. A big gap is a flag, not an order. Three games is a small sample.
Trade away. Malik Nabers (26.9 last 3 against a 13.7 projection) and DeVonta Smith (20.2 last 3 against a 13.2 projection). Their recent scoring is well above what the next three weeks are projected to give you. If a league-mate pays for the last three games, take it. Drake Maye and Jahmyr Gibbs are also running hot, but they still project among the top three at the position for the next three weeks. Keep them.
Trade for. Saquon Barkley (4.7 last 3 against a 14 projection), Bo Nix (8.7 last 3 against a 16.4 projection) and Justin Jefferson (10.8 last 3 against a 17.5 projection). Recent scoring is below the projection, so the price is likely lower than the next three weeks deserve. Ask for them. Saquon Barkley and Justin Jefferson are both listed Questionable, so check status first.

- Target the buy list. Offer a fair price on the cold names.
- Check status before kickoff. Tags change during the week.
- Settle close calls. Use the start/sit tool for two players you cannot split.
