How Reggie Gilliam should do vs the DolphinsSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection

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 Reggie Gilliam 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 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 Reggie Gilliam 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 Reggie Gilliam's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Reggie Gilliam usually produces.

Projected is Reggie Gilliam'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 is what the defense allows minus what Gilliam averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.

Start / Sit · Reggie GilliamLow confidence · 1.2 proj ptsSit
  • Reggie Gilliam averages 1.4 PPR points over 1 game (recent-weighted 1.4) and has played as the team's RB2.
  • The Dolphins have allowed 3.3 points to RB2s over 2 games (-31% vs league). The model applies 40% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a -12% adjustment.
  • Projection: 1.2 points.
  • For reference, a typical weekly starter-level RB scores about 12.2 and a top-tier one about 20.0.
  • Confidence is low: too few games for either the player or the defense. Use this as a rough lean, not a lock.
  • A statistical model from box scores, Vegas lines, weather and injury tags. It cannot see role changes or in-game events.
Prediction & chance to scoreReggie Gilliam vs the Dolphins

Prediction for Reggie Gilliam

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

If Reggie Gilliam plays as
1.2
projected PPR points

I predict about 1.2 points for Reggie Gilliam if playing as a RB2. Reggie Gilliam has averaged 1.4 over 1 game, and the Dolphins have given up 3.3 to RB2s (-31% vs the league average of 4.8).

How this projection is built

1. The player. Reggie Gilliam scored: Wk 2 1.4. Average 1.4; weighted toward recent games it is 1.4.

2. The defense. Over 2 games, the Dolphins allowed 3.3 points to their opponent's RB2. The league average for that slot is 4.8, so that is -31%.

3. Trusting small samples less. With 2 defensive games, only 40% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -12% adjustment (x0.88).

4. Result. 1.4 x 0.88 = 1.2. 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 Reggie Gilliam is to reach it as a RB2.

55%
chance of 1+ PPR points
Why this percentage?

The projection (1.2) 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 0.7 points, leaning on Reggie Gilliam'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 1.

With only 1 game 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%.
