Why Reichard ranks #4

  • Will Reichard has reached 2+ field goals in 1 of 2 games this season.
  • Reichard has 4 field goals in 2 games (2.00 per game) on 2.0 attempts per game. With a small sample, that is blended with what a typical K at this workload produces (1.67 per game), giving 1.80 per game.
  • The Buccaneers have allowed 3.50 field goals per game to Ks over 2 games, versus a league average of 1.63 (+115%). Only 33% of that gap is applied because the sample is small, a x1.38 adjustment.
  • Game environment (field goals x1.00): Vegas total 42.5, implied 22.5 points for MIN (league avg 22.5); Mild weather (87F, 7 mph wind): no weather adjustment.
  • Expected field goals this week: 2.49. That makes the chance of 2+ field goals 71%.
  • Small sample: only 2 games so far, so treat this as directional.
How the math works

Rate: (actual total + 3 games of the typical rate) divided by (games played + 3). This keeps one or two games from swinging the estimate.

Matchup: the opponent's allowed rate to Ks divided by the league average, with only n/(n+4) of the gap applied and limited to x0.7 to x1.4.

Chance: expected 2.49, converted with a Poisson count model to the chance of 2+.

It does not know about injuries, snap counts, game script or weather.
