Prediction for Bo Nix

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

If Bo Nix plays as
12.6
projected PPR points

I predict about 12.6 points for Bo Nix if playing as a QB1. Bo Nix has averaged 9.8 over 2 games, and the Raiders have given up 12.3 to QB1s (-27% vs the league average of 16.9).

How this projection is built

1. The player. Bo Nix scored: Wk 1 5.4, Wk 2 14.1. Average 9.8; weighted toward recent games it is 14.1.

2. The defense. Over 2 games, the Raiders allowed 12.3 points to their opponent's QB1. The league average for that slot is 16.9, so that is -27%.

3. Trusting small samples less. With 2 defensive games, only 40% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -11% adjustment (x0.89).

4. Result. 14.1 x 0.89 = 12.6. 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 Bo Nix is to reach it as a QB1.

40%
chance of 13+ PPR points
Why this percentage?

The projection (12.6) 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 7.5 points, leaning on Bo Nix's own game-to-game swings once there are several games (and on typical QB 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 13.

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

  • QB1s have averaged 206.0 passing yards, 0.5 passing TDs and 20.5 rushing yards against the Raiders across 2 games.
  • The Raiders allow 12.3 PPR points to QB1s, -27% versus the league average of 16.9 (ranked 27 of 32, where 1 is most generous). That is a tough matchup.
  • 1 of 2 games reached 15+ PPR points. Scores range from 7.9 to 16.7 (median 12.3).
  • Every QB1 in the sample cleared 150 passing yards.
  • QB1s scored a touchdown in 2 of 2 games (100%).
  • Small sample: only 2 games so far. Treat these numbers as directional, not settled.

Medium confidence
  • Bo Nix averages 9.8 PPR points over 2 games (recent-weighted 10.3) and has played as the team's QB1.
  • The Raiders have allowed 12.3 points to QB1s over 2 games (-27% vs league). The model applies 40% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a -11% adjustment.
  • Last season's average (17.9) is blended in at 50% weight because this season's sample is small.
  • Projection: 12.6 points.
  • For reference, a typical weekly starter-level QB scores about 18.1 and a top-tier one about 24.5.
  • A statistical model from box scores, Vegas lines, weather and injury tags. It cannot see role changes or in-game events.

Bo Nix's stats vs the Raiders

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

What is this table?

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

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

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

Projected is Bo Nix's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Raiders 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 Nix averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.
