How Cairo Santos should do vs the PackersSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection

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

What is this table?

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

Compare against picks which group of Packers 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 Cairo Santos will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.

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

Projected is Cairo Santos's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Packers 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.

Difference is what the defense allows minus what Santos averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.

Start / Sit · Cairo SantosMedium confidence · 7.7 proj ptsFlex
  • Cairo Santos averages 8.5 PPR points over 2 games (recent-weighted 8.1) and has played as the team's K1.
  • The Packers have allowed 6.0 points to K1s over 2 games (-29% vs league). The model applies 40% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a -12% adjustment.
  • Last season's average (9.4) is blended in at 50% weight because this season's sample is small.
  • Projection: 7.7 points.
  • For reference, a typical weekly starter-level K scores about 9.5 and a top-tier one about 14.0.

Prediction & chance to scoreCairo Santos vs the Packers

Prediction for Cairo Santos

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

If Cairo Santos plays as
7.7
projected PPR points

I predict about 7.7 points for Cairo Santos if playing as a K1. Cairo Santos has averaged 8.5 over 2 games, and the Packers have given up 6.0 to K1s (-29% vs the league average of 8.5).

How this projection is built

1. The player. Cairo Santos scored: Wk 1 12.0, Wk 2 5.0. Average 8.5; weighted toward recent games it is 8.7.

2. The defense. Over 2 games, the Packers allowed 6.0 points to their opponent's K1. The league average for that slot is 8.5, so that is -29%.

3. Trusting small samples less. With 2 defensive games, only 40% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -12% adjustment (x0.88).

4. Result. 8.7 x 0.88 = 7.7. 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 Cairo Santos is to reach it as a K1.

40%
chance of 8+ PPR points
Why this percentage?

The projection (7.7) 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 4.6 points, leaning on Cairo Santos'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 8.

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%.

InsightsPlain-English takeaways from the table

  • The Packers allow 6.0 PPR points to K1s, -29% versus the league average of 8.5 (ranked 25 of 32, where 1 is most generous). That is a tough matchup.
  • 0 of 2 games reached 8+ PPR points. Scores range from 5.0 to 7.0 (median 6.0).
  • Small sample: only 2 games so far. Treat these numbers as directional, not settled.
