How Ian Thomas should do vs the ChargersSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Chargers, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Ian Thomas has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Chargers 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 Ian Thomas will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Chargers avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Ian Thomas's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Ian Thomas usually produces.
Projected is Ian Thomas's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Chargers 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 Thomas averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.
