Prediction for Luke Schoonmaker
Nobody knows which slot Luke Schoonmaker will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Texans.
I predict about 2.0 points for Luke Schoonmaker if playing as a TE1. Luke Schoonmaker has averaged 2.2 over 1 game, and the Texans have given up 10.3 to TE1s (-0% vs the league average of 10.3).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Luke Schoonmaker scored: Wk 1 2.2. Average 2.2; weighted toward recent games it is 2.0.
2. The defense. Over 2 games, the Texans allowed 10.3 points to their opponent's TE1. The league average for that slot is 10.3, so that is -0%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 2 defensive games, only 40% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -0% adjustment (x1.00).
4. Result. 2.0 x 1.00 = 2.0. 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 Luke Schoonmaker is to reach it as a TE1.
Why this percentage?
The projection (2.0) 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 1.2 points, leaning on Luke Schoonmaker'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 2.
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%.

- Percent above or below the league average
- Luke Schoonmaker averages 2.2 PPR points over 1 game (recent-weighted 2.2) and has played as the team's TE1.
- The Texans have allowed 10.3 points to TE1s over 2 games (-0% vs league). The model applies 40% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a -0% adjustment.
- Last season's average (1.9) is blended in at 67% weight because this season's sample is small.
- Projection: 2.0 points.
- For reference, a typical weekly starter-level TE scores about 13.1 and a top-tier one about 19.6.

Luke Schoonmaker's stats vs the Texans
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Texans, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Luke Schoonmaker has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Texans 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 Luke Schoonmaker will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Texans avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Luke Schoonmaker's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Luke Schoonmaker usually produces.
Projected is Luke Schoonmaker's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Texans 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | NYG | 1 | 1 | 12 | 0 | 2.2 |
| Schoonmaker avg | 1.0 | 1.0 | 12.0 | 0.0 | 2.2 | |
| Texans TE1 avg | 4.5 | 3.5 | 67.5 | 0.0 | 10.3 | |
| Difference | +3.5 | +2.5 | +55.5 | +0.0 | +8.1 | |
| Projected as TE1 | 1.0 | 1.0 | 12.0 | 0.0 | 2.0 | |
Difference is what the defense allows minus what Schoonmaker averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.
