How Oscar Delp should do vs the SteelersSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Steelers, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Oscar Delp has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Steelers 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 Oscar Delp will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Steelers avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Oscar Delp's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Oscar Delp usually produces.
Projected is Oscar Delp's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Steelers 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.
| Wk | Opp | Tgt | Rec | ReYd | ReTD | FPts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | BAL | 1 | 1 | 8 | 0 | 1.8 |
| Delp avg | 1.0 | 1.0 | 8.0 | 0.0 | 1.8 | |

| Difference | +1.3 | +0.3 | +15.3 | +0.0 | +1.9 | |
| Projected | 0.7 | 0.7 | 5.9 | 0.0 | 1.3 | |
Difference is what the defense allows minus what Delp 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 · Oscar DelpLow confidence · 1.3 proj ptsSit
- Oscar Delp averages 1.8 PPR points over 1 game (recent-weighted 1.8) and has played as the team's TE1.
- The Steelers have allowed 3.5 points to TE1s over 2 games (-66% vs league). The model applies 40% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a -26% adjustment.
- Projection: 1.3 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 scoreOscar Delp vs the Steelers
Prediction for Oscar Delp
Nobody knows which slot Oscar Delp will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Steelers.
I predict about 1.3 points for Oscar Delp if playing as a TE1. Oscar Delp has averaged 1.8 over 1 game, and the Steelers have given up 3.5 to TE1s (-66% vs the league average of 10.3).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Oscar Delp scored: Wk 2 1.8. Average 1.8; weighted toward recent games it is 1.8.
2. The defense. Over 2 games, the Steelers allowed 3.5 points to their opponent's TE1. The league average for that slot is 10.3, so that is -66%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 2 defensive games, only 40% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -26% adjustment (x0.74).
4. Result. 1.8 x 0.74 = 1.3. 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 Oscar Delp is to reach it as a TE1.
Why this percentage?
The projection (1.3) 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 0.8 points, leaning on Oscar Delp'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 1.
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%.
