Prediction for Tyjae Spears

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

If Tyjae Spears plays as
7.3
projected PPR points

I predict about 7.3 points for Tyjae Spears if playing as a RB2. Tyjae Spears has averaged 6.7 over 2 games, and the Ravens have given up 4.0 to RB2s (-15% vs the league average of 4.8).

How this projection is built

1. The player. Tyjae Spears scored: Wk 1 4.4, Wk 2 9.0. Average 6.7; weighted toward recent games it is 7.8.

2. The defense. Over 2 games, the Ravens allowed 4.0 points to their opponent's RB2. The league average for that slot is 4.8, so that is -15%.

3. Trusting small samples less. With 2 defensive games, only 40% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -6% adjustment (x0.94).

4. Result. 7.8 x 0.94 = 7.3. 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 Tyjae Spears is to reach it as a RB2.

45%
chance of 7+ PPR points
Why this percentage?

The projection (7.3) 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 4.4 points, leaning on Tyjae Spears'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 7.

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

  • RB2s have averaged 4.0 carries, 12.5 rushing yards and 1.5 receptions against the Ravens across 2 games.
  • The Ravens allow 4.0 PPR points to RB2s, -15% versus the league average of 4.8 (ranked 18 of 32, where 1 is most generous). That is a tough matchup.
  • 0 of 2 games reached 10+ PPR points. Scores range from 1.0 to 7.1 (median 4.0).
  • RB2s scored a touchdown in 0 of 2 games (0%).
  • Small sample: only 2 games so far. Treat these numbers as directional, not settled.

Medium confidence
  • Tyjae Spears averages 6.7 PPR points over 2 games (recent-weighted 7.0) and has played as the team's RB2.
  • The Ravens have allowed 4.0 points to RB2s over 2 games (-15% vs league). The model applies 40% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a -6% adjustment.
  • Last season's average (8.6) is blended in at 50% weight because this season's sample is small.
  • Projection: 7.3 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.

Tyjae Spears's stats vs the Ravens

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

What is this table?

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

Compare against picks which group of Ravens 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 Tyjae Spears will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.

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

Projected is Tyjae Spears's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Ravens 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.
