How Ben Sinnott should do vs the FalconsSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Falcons, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Ben Sinnott has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Falcons opponents to line them up with: the best TE they faced in each game (1), the second best (2), the third best (3), or all of the top three. Nobody knows which slot Ben Sinnott will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Falcons avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Ben Sinnott's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Ben Sinnott usually produces.
Projected is Ben Sinnott's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Falcons 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 | Tgt | Rec | ReYd | ReTD | FPts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | DAL | 1 | 1 | 6 | 0 | 1.6 |
| Sinnott avg | 1.0 | 1.0 | 6.0 | 0.0 | 1.6 | |
| Falcons All avg | 2.6 | 2.4 | 22.8 | 0.6 | 8.3 | |
| Difference | +1.6 | +1.4 | +16.8 | +0.6 | +6.7 | |
| Projected | 1.3 | 1.3 | 7.6 | 0.0 | 3.7 | |
Difference is what the defense allows minus what Sinnott 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 · Ben SinnottMedium confidence · 3.7 proj ptsSit
Ben Sinnott usually plays as the team's TE1, so the verdict uses the TE1 numbers, not the slot selected above.
- Ben Sinnott averages 1.6 PPR points over 1 game (recent-weighted 1.6) and has played as the team's TE1.
- The Falcons have allowed 16.9 points to TE1s over 2 games (+65% vs league). The model applies 40% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a +26% adjustment.
- Last season's average (3.6) is blended in at 67% weight because this season's sample is small.
- Projection: 3.7 points.
- For reference, a typical weekly starter-level TE scores about 13.1 and a top-tier one about 19.6.
- A statistical model from box scores, Vegas lines, weather and injury tags. It cannot see role changes or in-game events.
Prediction & chance to scoreBen Sinnott vs the Falcons
Prediction for Ben Sinnott
Nobody knows which slot Ben Sinnott will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Falcons.
I predict about 3.7 points for Ben Sinnott if playing as a TE1. Ben Sinnott has averaged 1.6 over 1 game, and the Falcons have given up 16.9 to TE1s (+65% vs the league average of 10.3).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Ben Sinnott scored: Wk 2 1.6. Average 1.6; weighted toward recent games it is 2.9.
2. The defense. Over 2 games, the Falcons allowed 16.9 points to their opponent's TE1. The league average for that slot is 10.3, so that is +65%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 2 defensive games, only 40% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a +26% adjustment (x1.26).
4. Result. 2.9 x 1.26 = 3.7. 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 Ben Sinnott is to reach it as a TE1.
Why this percentage?
The projection (3.7) 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 2.2 points, leaning on Ben Sinnott's own game-to-game swings once there are several games (and on typical TE 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 4.
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%.
