How Bijan Robinson should do vs the CommandersSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection

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

What is this table?

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

Compare against picks which group of Commanders 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 Bijan Robinson will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.

Commanders avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Bijan Robinson's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Bijan Robinson usually produces.

Projected is Bijan Robinson's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Commanders 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 Robinson 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 · Bijan RobinsonMedium confidence · 17.1 proj ptsStart

Bijan Robinson usually plays as the team's RB1, so the verdict uses the RB1 numbers, not the slot selected above.

  • Bijan Robinson averages 21.2 PPR points over 2 games (recent-weighted 20.1) and has played as the team's RB1.
  • The Commanders have allowed 8.5 points to RB1s over 2 games (-46% vs league). The model applies 40% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a -18% adjustment.
  • Last season's average (21.8) is blended in at 50% weight because this season's sample is small.
  • Projection: 17.1 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 & chance to scoreBijan Robinson vs the Commanders

Prediction for Bijan Robinson

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

If Bijan Robinson plays as
17.1
projected PPR points

I predict about 17.1 points for Bijan Robinson if playing as a RB1. Bijan Robinson has averaged 21.2 over 2 games, and the Commanders have given up 8.5 to RB1s (-46% vs the league average of 15.7).

How this projection is built

1. The player. Bijan Robinson scored: Wk 1 31.3, Wk 2 11.1. Average 21.2; weighted toward recent games it is 20.9.

2. The defense. Over 2 games, the Commanders allowed 8.5 points to their opponent's RB1. The league average for that slot is 15.7, so that is -46%.

3. Trusting small samples less. With 2 defensive games, only 40% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -18% adjustment (x0.82).

4. Result. 20.9 x 0.82 = 17.1. 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 Bijan Robinson is to reach it as a RB1.

42%
chance of 17+ PPR points
Why this percentage?

The projection (17.1) 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 10.3 points, leaning on Bijan Robinson'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 17.

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%.
