How Jacory Croskey-Merritt should do vs the SeahawksSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection

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

What is this table?

Rows at the top are every game Jacory Croskey-Merritt has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.

Compare against picks which group of Seahawks 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 Jacory Croskey-Merritt will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.

Seahawks avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Jacory Croskey-Merritt's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Jacory Croskey-Merritt usually produces.

Projected is Jacory Croskey-Merritt's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Seahawks 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.

Start / Sit · Jacory Croskey-MerrittMedium confidence · 6.7 proj ptsSit
  • Jacory Croskey-Merritt averages 9.2 PPR points over 2 games (recent-weighted 8.8) and has played as the team's RB2.
  • The Seahawks have allowed 3.4 points to RB2s over 2 games (-28% vs league). The model applies 40% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a -11% adjustment.
  • Last season's average (8.3) is blended in at 50% weight because this season's sample is small.
  • Game environment -12%: Vegas total 39.5, implied 16.5 points for WAS (league avg 22.5); Underdog by 6.5: likely to pass more while trailing; Mild weather (77F, 5 mph wind): no weather adjustment.
  • Flag: Quarterback Jayden Daniels is doubtful, so a backup may be throwing. Croskey-Merritt's numbers may take a hit.
  • Projection: 6.7 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.
Prediction & chance to scoreJacory Croskey-Merritt vs the Seahawks

Prediction for Jacory Croskey-Merritt

Nobody knows which slot Jacory Croskey-Merritt will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Seahawks.

If Jacory Croskey-Merritt plays as
7.6
projected PPR points

I predict about 7.6 points for Jacory Croskey-Merritt if playing as a RB2. Jacory Croskey-Merritt has averaged 9.2 over 2 games, and the Seahawks have given up 3.4 to RB2s (-28% vs the league average of 4.8).

How this projection is built

1. The player. Jacory Croskey-Merritt scored: Wk 1 12.6, Wk 2 5.8. Average 9.2; weighted toward recent games it is 8.5.

2. The defense. Over 2 games, the Seahawks allowed 3.4 points to their opponent's RB2. The league average for that slot is 4.8, so that is -28%.

3. Trusting small samples less. With 2 defensive games, only 40% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -11% adjustment (x0.89).

4. Result. 8.5 x 0.89 = 7.6. 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 Jacory Croskey-Merritt is to reach it as a RB2.

38%
chance of 8+ PPR points
Why this percentage?

The projection (7.6) 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 4.5 points, leaning on Jacory Croskey-Merritt'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 8.

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%.
