Prediction for Chuba Hubbard
Nobody knows which slot Chuba Hubbard will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Lions.
I predict about 14.2 points for Chuba Hubbard if playing as a RB1. Chuba Hubbard has averaged 19.1 over 2 games, and the Lions have given up 17.9 to RB1s (+14% vs the league average of 15.7).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Chuba Hubbard scored: Wk 1 23.7, Wk 2 14.4. Average 19.1; weighted toward recent games it is 13.4.
2. The defense. Over 2 games, the Lions allowed 17.9 points to their opponent's RB1. The league average for that slot is 15.7, so that is +14%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 2 defensive games, only 40% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a +6% adjustment (x1.06).
4. Result. 13.4 x 1.06 = 14.2. 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 Chuba Hubbard is to reach it as a RB1.
Why this percentage?
The projection (14.2) 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 8.5 points, leaning on Chuba Hubbard'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 14.
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

Chuba Hubbard usually plays as the team's RB1, so the verdict uses the RB1 numbers, not the slot selected above.
- Chuba Hubbard averages 19.1 PPR points over 2 games (recent-weighted 18.5) and has played as the team's RB1.
- The Lions have allowed 17.9 points to RB1s over 2 games (+14% vs league). The model applies 40% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a +6% adjustment.
- Last season's average (8.4) is blended in at 50% weight because this season's sample is small.
- Projection: 14.2 points.
- For reference, a typical weekly starter-level RB scores about 12.2 and a top-tier one about 20.0.

Chuba Hubbard's stats vs the Lions
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Lions, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Chuba Hubbard has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Lions 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 Chuba Hubbard will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Lions avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Chuba Hubbard's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Chuba Hubbard usually produces.
Projected is Chuba Hubbard's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Lions 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 Hubbard averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.
