How Lan Larison should do vs the SteelersSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Steelers, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Lan Larison has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Steelers 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 Lan Larison will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Steelers avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Lan Larison's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Lan Larison usually produces.
Projected is Lan Larison's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Steelers 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.
| Wk | Opp | Car | RuYd | RuTD | Tgt | Rec | ReYd | ReTD | FPts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | SEA | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 9 | 0 | 2.9 |
| Larison avg | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 2.0 | 2.0 | 9.0 | 0.0 | 2.9 | |
| Steelers All avg | 15.0 | 57.0 | 0.0 | 5.0 | 4.0 | 45.0 | 0.5 | 17.2 | |
| Difference | +15.0 | +57.0 | +0.0 | +3.0 | +2.0 | +36.0 | +0.5 | +14.3 | |
| Projected | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 1.8 | 1.8 | 7.9 | 0.0 | 2.6 | |
Difference is what the defense allows minus what Larison 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 · Lan LarisonLow confidence · 2.6 proj ptsSit
Lan Larison usually plays as the team's RB2, so the verdict uses the RB2 numbers, not the slot selected above.
- Lan Larison averages 2.9 PPR points over 1 game (recent-weighted 2.9) and has played as the team's RB2.
- The Steelers have allowed 3.4 points to RB2s over 2 games (-30% vs league). The model applies 40% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a -12% adjustment.
- Projection: 2.6 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 scoreLan Larison vs the Steelers
Prediction for Lan Larison
Nobody knows which slot Lan Larison will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Steelers.
I predict about 2.6 points for Lan Larison if playing as a RB2. Lan Larison has averaged 2.9 over 1 game, and the Steelers have given up 3.1 to RB2s (-40% vs the league average of 5.2).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Lan Larison scored: Wk 1 2.9. Average 2.9; weighted toward recent games it is 2.9.
2. The defense. Over 1 game, the Steelers allowed 3.1 points to their opponent's RB2. The league average for that slot is 5.2, so that is -40%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 1 defensive game, only 25% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -10% adjustment (x0.90).
4. Result. 2.9 x 0.90 = 2.6. 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 Lan Larison is to reach it as a RB2.
Why this percentage?
The projection (2.6) 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 1.6 points, leaning on Lan Larison'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 3.
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%.
InsightsPlain-English takeaways from the table
