How Charlie Kolar should do vs the RamsSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection

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

What is this table?

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

Compare against picks which group of Rams 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 Charlie Kolar will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.

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

Projected is Charlie Kolar's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Rams 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 Kolar 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 · Charlie KolarLow confidence · 3.3 proj ptsSit

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

  • Charlie Kolar averages 5.1 PPR points over 1 game (recent-weighted 5.1) and has played as the team's TE1.
  • The Rams have allowed 3.9 points to TE1s over 1 game (-62% vs league). The model applies 25% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a -16% adjustment.
  • Last season's average (3.3) is blended in at 67% weight because this season's sample is small.
  • Injury report: Questionable. The projection assumes the player plays.
  • Projection: 3.3 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 scoreCharlie Kolar vs the Rams

Prediction for Charlie Kolar

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

If Charlie Kolar plays as
3.3
projected PPR points

I predict about 3.3 points for Charlie Kolar if playing as a TE1. Charlie Kolar has averaged 5.1 over 1 game, and the Rams have given up 3.9 to TE1s (-62% vs the league average of 10.3).

How this projection is built

1. The player. Charlie Kolar scored: Wk 2 5.1. Average 5.1; weighted toward recent games it is 3.9.

2. The defense. Over 1 game, the Rams allowed 3.9 points to their opponent's TE1. The league average for that slot is 10.3, so that is -62%.

3. Trusting small samples less. With 1 defensive game, only 25% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -16% adjustment (x0.84).

4. Result. 3.9 x 0.84 = 3.3. 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 Charlie Kolar is to reach it as a TE1.

48%
chance of 3+ PPR points
Why this percentage?

The projection (3.3) 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 2.0 points, leaning on Charlie Kolar'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 3.

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%.
