Prediction & chance to scoreChase McLaughlin vs the Browns

Prediction for Chase McLaughlin

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

If Chase McLaughlin plays as
10.8
projected PPR points

I predict about 10.8 points for Chase McLaughlin if playing as a K1. Chase McLaughlin has averaged 11.0 over 1 game, and the Browns have given up 12.0 to K1s (+42% vs the league average of 8.5).

How this projection is built

1. The player. Chase McLaughlin scored: Wk 1 11.0. Average 11.0; weighted toward recent games it is 9.7.

2. The defense. Over 1 game, the Browns allowed 12.0 points to their opponent's K1. The league average for that slot is 8.5, so that is +42%.

3. Trusting small samples less. With 1 defensive game, only 25% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a +10% adjustment (x1.10).

4. Result. 9.7 x 1.10 = 10.8. 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 Chase McLaughlin is to reach it as a K1.

41%
chance of 11+ PPR points
Why this percentage?

The projection (10.8) 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 6.5 points, leaning on Chase McLaughlin'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 11.

With only 1 game 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%.

InsightsPlain-English takeaways from the table
  • K1s have averaged 2.0 field goals made, 2.0 field goal attempts and 4.0 extra points against the Browns across 1 game.
  • The Browns allow 12.0 PPR points to K1s, +42% versus the league average of 8.5 (ranked 8 of 32, where 1 is most generous). That is a favorable matchup.
  • Small sample: only 1 game so far. Treat these numbers as directional, not settled.

Insights are generated by rules from the table above and recalculate every week.

Start / Sit · Chase McLaughlinMedium confidence · 14.4 proj ptsMust Start
  • Chase McLaughlin averages 13.5 PPR points over 2 games (recent-weighted 13.8) and has played as the team's K1.
  • The Browns have allowed 14.0 points to K1s over 2 games (+65% vs league). The model applies 40% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a +26% adjustment.
  • Last season's average (9.1) is blended in at 50% weight because this season's sample is small.
  • Projection: 14.4 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.
Chase McLaughlin's stats vs the BrownsSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection

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

What is this table?

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

Compare against picks which group of Browns 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 Chase McLaughlin will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.

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

Projected is Chase McLaughlin's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Browns 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.
