Why Lamb ranks #5

CeeDee Lamb has reached 1+ receiving TD in 2 of 2 games this season.
Lamb has 3 receiving TDs in 2 games (1.50 per game) on 8.5 targets per game. With a small sample, that is blended with what a typical WR at this workload produces (0.44 per game), giving 0.86 per game.
The Ravens have allowed 0.50 receiving TDs per game to WRs over 2 games, versus a league average of 0.90 (-45%). Only 33% of that gap is applied because the sample is small, a x0.85 adjustment.
Game environment (receiving TDs x1.09): Vegas total 52.5, implied 24.8 points for DAL (league avg 22.5); Underdog by 3: likely to pass more while trailing; Indoors: no weather effect, a small boost for passing and kicking.
Expected receiving TDs this week: 0.80. That makes the chance of 1+ receiving TD 55%.
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 WRs divided by the league average, with only n/(n+4) of the gap applied and limited to x0.7 to x1.4.

Chance: expected 0.80, converted with a Poisson count model to the chance of 1+.

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

Totals are for every WR the Ravens faced in each game, not just one player.
