Prediction for AJ Barner

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

If AJ Barner plays as
6.5
projected PPR points

I predict about 6.5 points for AJ Barner if playing as a TE1. AJ Barner has averaged 5.6 over 2 games, and the Raiders have given up 6.8 to TE1s (-34% vs the league average of 10.3).

How this projection is built

1. The player. AJ Barner scored: Wk 1 3.3, Wk 2 7.9. Average 5.6; weighted toward recent games it is 7.5.

2. The defense. Over 2 games, the Raiders allowed 6.8 points to their opponent's TE1. The league average for that slot is 10.3, so that is -34%.

3. Trusting small samples less. With 2 defensive games, only 40% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -14% adjustment (x0.86).

4. Result. 7.5 x 0.86 = 6.5. 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 AJ Barner is to reach it as a TE1.

37%
chance of 7+ PPR points
Why this percentage?

The projection (6.5) 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 3.9 points, leaning on AJ Barner'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 7.

With only 2 games 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 2.0 receptions, 18.0 receiving yards and 0.5 receiving TDs against the Raiders across 2 games.
  • The Raiders allow 6.8 PPR points to TE1s, -34% versus the league average of 10.3 (ranked 23 of 32, where 1 is most generous). That is a tough matchup.
  • 1 of 2 games reached 7+ PPR points. Scores range from 3.8 to 9.8 (median 6.8).
  • TE1s scored a touchdown in 1 of 2 games (50%).
  • Small sample: only 2 games so far. Treat these numbers as directional, not settled.

Medium confidence
  • AJ Barner averages 5.6 PPR points over 2 games (recent-weighted 5.9) and has played as the team's TE1.
  • The Raiders have allowed 6.8 points to TE1s over 2 games (-34% vs league). The model applies 40% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a -14% adjustment.
  • Last season's average (9.2) is blended in at 50% weight because this season's sample is small.
  • Projection: 6.5 points.
  • For reference, a typical weekly starter-level TE scores about 13.1 and a top-tier one about 19.6.
  • A statistical model from box scores, Vegas lines, weather and injury tags. It cannot see role changes or in-game events.

AJ Barner's stats vs the Raiders

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

What is this table?

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

Compare against picks which group of Raiders 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 AJ Barner will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.

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

Projected is AJ Barner's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Raiders 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 Barner averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.
