How D'Andre Swift should do vs the BuccaneersSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection

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

What is this table?

Rows at the top are every game D'Andre Swift has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.

Compare against picks which group of Buccaneers 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 D'Andre Swift will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.

Buccaneers avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus D'Andre Swift's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than D'Andre Swift usually produces.

Projected is D'Andre Swift's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Buccaneers 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 Swift 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 · D'Andre SwiftGood confidence · 17.2 proj pts7/10 start

D'Andre Swift usually plays as the team's RB1, so the verdict uses the RB1 numbers, not the slot selected above.

  • D'Andre Swift averages 18.8 PPR points over 8 games (recent-weighted 20.0) and has played as the team's RB1.
  • The Buccaneers have allowed 11.8 points to RB1s over 8 games (-27% vs league). The model applies 73% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a -19% adjustment.
  • Last season's average (14.3) is blended in at 20% weight because this season's sample is small.
  • Game environment +9%: Vegas total 47.5, implied 26.8 points for CHI (league avg 22.6); Favored by 6: leaning run-heavy late; Mild weather (54F, 7 mph wind): no weather adjustment.
  • QB change: Caleb Williams is now throwing (7.8 yds/att vs 7.4 earlier), x1.03.
  • Opposing-defense injuries (+0%): Opposing starter Tykee Smith (S) is questionable, which helps the passing game.
  • Projection: 17.2 points.
  • For reference, a typical weekly starter-level RB scores about 13.1 and a top-tier one about 20.9.
  • A statistical model from box scores, Vegas lines, weather and injury tags. It cannot see role changes or in-game events.
Prediction & chance to scoreD'Andre Swift vs the Buccaneers

Prediction for D'Andre Swift

Nobody knows which slot D'Andre Swift will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Buccaneers.

If D'Andre Swift plays as
15.2
projected PPR points

I predict about 15.2 points for D'Andre Swift if playing as a RB1. D'Andre Swift has averaged 18.8 over 8 games, and the Buccaneers have given up 11.8 to RB1s (-27% vs the league average of 16.1).

How this projection is built

1. The player. D'Andre Swift scored: Wk 1 32.4, Wk 2 12.9, Wk 3 10.8, Wk 4 7.4, Wk 5 17.3, Wk 6 23.0, Wk 7 19.0, Wk 8 27.9. Average 18.8; weighted toward recent games it is 18.9.

2. The defense. Over 8 games, the Buccaneers allowed 11.8 points to their opponent's RB1. The league average for that slot is 16.1, so that is -27%.

3. Trusting small samples less. With 8 defensive games, only 73% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -19% adjustment (x0.81).

4. Result. 18.9 x 0.81 = 15.2. 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 D'Andre Swift is to reach it as a RB1.

43%
chance of 15+ PPR points
Why this percentage?

The projection (15.2) 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 8.6 points, leaning on D'Andre Swift'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 15.

With only 8 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%.

InsightsPlain-English takeaways from the table
  • all RBs have averaged 7.5 carries, 27.1 rushing yards and 1.9 receptions per player-game against the Buccaneers across 8 games.
  • The Buccaneers allow 16.9 PPR points to the position per game, -23% versus the league average of 22.0 (ranked 31 of 32, where 1 is most generous). That is a tough matchup.
  • Outlier: Week 1, Chase Brown (18.8 pts, 16 car) sits far above the other games and pulls the averages up. Average with it vs without it: pts 6.8 vs 6.1; car 7.5 vs 7.0. The table above keeps the raw averages.
  • Outlier: Week 3, Aaron Jones (14.2 pts, 17 car) sits far above the other games and pulls the averages up. Average with it vs without it: pts 6.8 vs 6.4; car 7.5 vs 6.9. The table above keeps the raw averages.
