How Matthew Hibner should do vs the TexansSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection

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 Matthew Hibner 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 Matthew Hibner 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 Matthew Hibner's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Matthew Hibner usually produces.

Projected is Matthew Hibner'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.

Start / Sit · Matthew HibnerLow confidence · 2.3 proj ptsSit

Matthew Hibner usually plays as the team's TE1, so the verdict uses the TE1 numbers, not the slot selected above.

  • Matthew Hibner averages 2.3 PPR points over 1 game (recent-weighted 2.3) 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.
  • Projection: 2.3 points.
  • For reference, a typical weekly starter-level TE scores about 13.1 and a top-tier one about 19.6.
  • Confidence is low: too few games for either the player or the defense. Use this as a rough lean, not a lock.
  • A statistical model from box scores, Vegas lines, weather and injury tags. It cannot see role changes or in-game events.
Prediction & chance to scoreMatthew Hibner vs the Texans

Prediction for Matthew Hibner

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

If Matthew Hibner plays as
2.3
projected PPR points

I predict about 2.3 points for Matthew Hibner if playing as a TE1. Matthew Hibner has averaged 2.3 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. Matthew Hibner scored: Wk 1 2.3. Average 2.3; weighted toward recent games it is 2.3.

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. 2.3 x 1.00 = 2.3. 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 Matthew Hibner is to reach it as a TE1.

51%
chance of 2+ PPR points
Why this percentage?

The projection (2.3) 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 1.4 points, leaning on Matthew Hibner'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%.

  • all TEs have averaged 2.7 receptions, 47.3 receiving yards and 0.0 receiving TDs per player-game against the Texans across 2 games.
  • The Texans allow 11.1 PPR points to the position per game, -14% versus the league average of 12.9 (ranked 17 of 32, where 1 is most generous). That is a tough matchup.

  • Outlier: Week 2, Erick All (2.5 pts, 5 yds) sits far below the other games and drags the averages down. Average with it vs without it: pts 7.4 vs 9.8; yds 47.3 vs 68.5. The table above keeps the raw averages.
