Prediction for Jake Briningstool

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

If Jake Briningstool plays as
1.8
projected PPR points

I predict about 1.8 points for Jake Briningstool if playing as a TE1. Jake Briningstool has averaged 1.9 over 1 game, and the Colts have given up 8.9 to TE1s (-14% vs the league average of 10.3).

How this projection is built

1. The player. Jake Briningstool scored: Wk 1 1.9. Average 1.9; weighted toward recent games it is 1.9.

2. The defense. Over 1 game, the Colts allowed 8.9 points to their opponent's TE1. The league average for that slot is 10.3, so that is -14%.

3. Trusting small samples less. With 1 defensive game, only 25% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -3% adjustment (x0.97).

4. Result. 1.9 x 0.97 = 1.8. 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.

Why this percentage?

The projection (1.8) 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 1.1 points, leaning on Jake Briningstool'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%.

Insights

  • TE1s have averaged 4.0 receptions, 49.0 receiving yards and 0.0 receiving TDs against the Colts across 1 game.
  • The Colts allow 8.9 PPR points to TE1s, -14% versus the league average of 10.3 (ranked 19 of 32, where 1 is most generous). That is a tough matchup.
  • TE1s scored a touchdown in 0 of 1 games (0%).
  • Small sample: only 1 game so far. Treat these numbers as directional, not settled.

Low confidence
  • Jake Briningstool averages 1.9 PPR points over 1 game (recent-weighted 1.9) and has played as the team's TE1.
  • The Colts have allowed 17.0 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.
  • Projection: 2.4 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.

Jake Briningstool's stats vs the Colts

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

What is this table?

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

Compare against picks which group of Colts 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 Jake Briningstool will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.

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

Projected is Jake Briningstool's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Colts 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.
