Prediction for Kenneth Walker III
Nobody knows which slot Kenneth Walker III will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Raiders.
I predict about 19.0 points for Kenneth Walker III if playing as a RB1. Kenneth Walker III has averaged 29.0 over 2 games, and the Raiders have given up 14.1 to RB1s (-10% vs the league average of 15.7).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Kenneth Walker III scored: Wk 1 34.1, Wk 2 23.8. Average 29.0; weighted toward recent games it is 19.8.
2. The defense. Over 2 games, the Raiders allowed 14.1 points to their opponent's RB1. The league average for that slot is 15.7, so that is -10%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 2 defensive games, only 40% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -4% adjustment (x0.96).
4. Result. 19.8 x 0.96 = 19.0. 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 Kenneth Walker III is to reach it as a RB1.
Why this percentage?
The projection (19.0) 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 11.4 points, leaning on Kenneth Walker III'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 19.
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%.

Kenneth Walker III usually plays as the team's RB1, so the verdict uses the RB1 numbers, not the slot selected above.
- Kenneth Walker III averages 29.0 PPR points over 2 games (recent-weighted 28.4) and has played as the team's RB1.
- The Raiders have allowed 14.1 points to RB1s over 2 games (-10% vs league). The model applies 40% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a -4% adjustment.

- Projection: 19.0 points.
- For reference, a typical weekly starter-level RB scores about 12.2 and a top-tier one about 20.0.

Kenneth Walker III'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 Kenneth Walker III 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 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 Kenneth Walker III 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 Kenneth Walker III's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Kenneth Walker III usually produces.
Projected is Kenneth Walker III'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.

| Projected as RB2 | 18.8 | 116.3 | 0.4 | 6.4 | 3.6 | 31.7 | 0.4 | 15.9 | |
Difference is what the defense allows minus what III averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.
