Prediction for Caleb Williams
Nobody knows which slot Caleb Williams will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Dolphins.
I predict about 21.8 points for Caleb Williams if playing as a QB1. Caleb Williams has averaged 22.5 over 2 games, and the Dolphins have given up 21.1 to QB1s (+25% vs the league average of 16.9).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Caleb Williams scored: Wk 1 37.3, Wk 2 7.7. Average 22.5; weighted toward recent games it is 19.8.
2. The defense. Over 2 games, the Dolphins allowed 21.1 points to their opponent's QB1. The league average for that slot is 16.9, so that is +25%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 2 defensive games, only 40% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a +10% adjustment (x1.10).
4. Result. 19.8 x 1.10 = 21.8. 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 Caleb Williams is to reach it as a QB1.
Why this percentage?
The projection (21.8) 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 13.1 points, leaning on Caleb Williams'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 22.
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

- Percent above or below the league average
- Caleb Williams averages 22.5 PPR points over 2 games (recent-weighted 20.8) and has played as the team's QB1.
- The Dolphins have allowed 21.1 points to QB1s over 2 games (+25% vs league). The model applies 40% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a +10% adjustment.
- Last season's average (18.7) is blended in at 50% weight because this season's sample is small.
- Injury report: Out. The projection assumes the player plays.
- Projection: 21.8 points.
- For reference, a typical weekly starter-level QB scores about 18.1 and a top-tier one about 24.5.

Caleb Williams's stats vs the Dolphins
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Dolphins, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Caleb Williams has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Dolphins 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 Caleb Williams will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Dolphins avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Caleb Williams's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Caleb Williams usually produces.
Projected is Caleb Williams's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Dolphins 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 | +2.5 | -1.5 | +20.0 | +1.5 | +0.5 | -3.5 | -41.5 | -0.5 | -1.3 | |
| Projected as QB1 | 19.8 | 30.3 | 224.0 | 1.1 | 0.6 | 8.3 | 58.9 | 1.1 | 21.8 | |
Difference is what the defense allows minus what Williams averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.
