Prediction for Eddy Pineiro

Nobody knows which slot Eddy Pineiro will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Cardinals.

If Eddy Pineiro plays as
7.2
projected PPR points

I predict about 7.2 points for Eddy Pineiro if playing as a K1. Eddy Pineiro has averaged 8.0 over 2 games, and the Cardinals have given up 4.5 to K1s (-47% vs the league average of 8.5).

How this projection is built

1. The player. Eddy Pineiro scored: Wk 1 11.0, Wk 2 5.0. Average 8.0; weighted toward recent games it is 8.8.

2. The defense. Over 2 games, the Cardinals allowed 4.5 points to their opponent's K1. The league average for that slot is 8.5, so that is -47%.

3. Trusting small samples less. With 2 defensive games, only 40% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -19% adjustment (x0.81).

4. Result. 8.8 x 0.81 = 7.2. Switching slots only changes step 2 and 3: the player's own numbers stay the same, but each slot faces a different defensive average.

It is a statistical model, not knowledge of injuries, game script or weather.

Chance to score

Type a point total to see how likely Eddy Pineiro is to reach it as a K1.

44%
chance of 7+ PPR points
Why this percentage?

The projection (7.2) is the middle of the range. Fantasy scores swing a lot from game to game, so the model spreads possible scores around it by about 4.3 points, leaning on Eddy Pineiro's own game-to-game swings once there are several games (and on typical K swings before that).

Scores are modelled as right-skewed, since a big game is possible but a very negative one is not. The percentage is the share of that spread at or above 7.

With only 2 games of history, treat this as a rough gauge. It gets sharper as the season goes on. It is never lower than 1% or higher than 99%.

Insights

  • K1s have averaged 0.5 field goals made, 0.5 field goal attempts and 3.0 extra points against the Cardinals across 2 games.
  • The Cardinals allow 4.5 PPR points to K1s, -47% versus the league average of 8.5 (ranked 29 of 32, where 1 is most generous). That is a tough matchup.
  • 0 of 2 games reached 8+ PPR points. Scores range from 2.0 to 7.0 (median 4.5).
  • Small sample: only 2 games so far. Treat these numbers as directional, not settled.

Medium confidence
  • Eddy Pineiro averages 8.0 PPR points over 2 games (recent-weighted 7.7) and has played as the team's K1.
  • The Cardinals have allowed 4.5 points to K1s over 2 games (-47% vs league). The model applies 40% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a -19% adjustment.
  • Last season's average (10.0) is blended in at 50% weight because this season's sample is small.
  • Game environment +7%: Vegas total 47.5, implied 28.0 points for SF (league avg 22.5); Favored by 8.5: leaning run-heavy late; Wind about 12 mph: hurts passing and kicking.
  • Projection: 7.7 points.
  • For reference, a typical weekly starter-level K scores about 9.5 and a top-tier one about 14.0.
  • A statistical model from box scores, Vegas lines, weather and injury tags. It cannot see role changes or in-game events.

Eddy Pineiro's stats vs the Cardinals

Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Cardinals, plus a projection for this game.

What is this table?

Rows at the top are every game Eddy Pineiro has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.

Compare against picks which group of Cardinals opponents to line them up with: the best K they faced in each game (1), the second best (2), the third best (3), or all of the top three. Nobody knows which slot Eddy Pineiro will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.

Cardinals avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Eddy Pineiro's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Eddy Pineiro usually produces.

Projected is Eddy Pineiro's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Cardinals were to the slot you picked. Change the slot and the projected points change, because each slot has a different matchup adjustment. Picking Top 3 uses the usual-role projection.
