Prediction for D'Andre Swift

Nobody knows which slot D'Andre Swift will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Falcons.

If D'Andre Swift plays as
16.4
projected PPR points

I predict about 16.4 points for D'Andre Swift if playing as a RB1. D'Andre Swift has averaged 22.6 over 2 games, and the Falcons have given up 12.4 to RB1s (-21% vs the league average of 15.7).

How this projection is built

1. The player. D'Andre Swift scored: Wk 1 32.4, Wk 2 12.9. Average 22.6; weighted toward recent games it is 17.9.

2. The defense. Over 2 games, the Falcons allowed 12.4 points to their opponent's RB1. The league average for that slot is 15.7, so that is -21%.

3. Trusting small samples less. With 2 defensive games, only 40% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -8% adjustment (x0.92).

4. Result. 17.9 x 0.92 = 16.4. 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 D'Andre Swift is to reach it as a RB1.

44%
chance of 16+ PPR points
Why this percentage?

The projection (16.4) 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 9.8 points, leaning on D'Andre Swift's own game-to-game swings once there are several games (and on typical RB 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 16.

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

  • RB1s have averaged 11.0 carries, 49.5 rushing yards and 3.5 receptions against the Falcons across 2 games.
  • The Falcons allow 12.4 PPR points to RB1s, -21% versus the league average of 15.7 (ranked 21 of 32, where 1 is most generous). That is a tough matchup.
  • 2 of 2 games reached 10+ PPR points. Scores range from 10.3 to 14.4 (median 12.4).
  • Every RB1 in the sample cleared 40 rushing yards.
  • RB1s scored a touchdown in 1 of 2 games (50%).
  • Small sample: only 2 games so far. Treat these numbers as directional, not settled.

Medium confidence
  • D'Andre Swift averages 22.6 PPR points over 2 games (recent-weighted 21.6) and has played as the team's RB1.
  • The Falcons have allowed 12.4 points to RB1s over 2 games (-21% vs league). The model applies 40% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a -8% adjustment.
  • Last season's average (14.3) is blended in at 50% weight because this season's sample is small.
  • Projection: 16.4 points.
  • For reference, a typical weekly starter-level RB scores about 12.2 and a top-tier one about 20.0.
  • A statistical model from box scores, Vegas lines, weather and injury tags. It cannot see role changes or in-game events.

D'Andre Swift's stats vs the Falcons

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

What is this table?

Rows at the top are every game D'Andre Swift has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.

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

Falcons avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus D'Andre Swift's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than D'Andre Swift usually produces.

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