How Mike Washington Jr. should do vs the 49ersSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection

Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the 49ers, plus a projection for this game.

What is this table?

Rows at the top are every game Mike Washington Jr. has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.

Compare against picks which group of 49ers 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 Mike Washington Jr. will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.

49ers avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Mike Washington Jr.'s own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Mike Washington Jr. usually produces.

Projected is Mike Washington Jr.'s recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the 49ers 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 · Mike Washington Jr.Medium confidence · 2.1 proj ptsSit

Mike Washington Jr. usually plays as the team's RB2, so the verdict uses the RB2 numbers, not the slot selected above.

  • Mike Washington Jr. averages 2.4 PPR points over 2 games (recent-weighted 2.2) and has played as the team's RB2.
  • The 49ers have allowed 4.1 points to RB2s over 2 games (-14% vs league). The model applies 40% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a -5% adjustment.
  • Projection: 2.1 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 for Mike Washington Jr.

Nobody knows which slot Mike Washington Jr. will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the 49ers.

If Mike Washington Jr. plays as
2.1
projected PPR points

I predict about 2.1 points for Mike Washington Jr. if playing as a RB2. Mike Washington Jr. has averaged 2.4 over 2 games, and the 49ers have given up 4.1 to RB2s (-14% vs the league average of 4.8).

How this projection is built

1. The player. Mike Washington Jr. scored: Wk 1 4.1, Wk 2 0.7. Average 2.4; weighted toward recent games it is 2.2.

2. The defense. Over 2 games, the 49ers allowed 4.1 points to their opponent's RB2. The league average for that slot is 4.8, 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 -5% adjustment (x0.95).

4. Result. 2.2 x 0.95 = 2.1. 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 Mike Washington Jr. is to reach it as a RB2.

45%
chance of 2+ PPR points
Why this percentage?

The projection (2.1) 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 1.3 points, leaning on Mike Washington Jr.'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 2.

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%.
