How Isaiah Likely should do vs the SeahawksSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection

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

What is this table?

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

Compare against picks which group of Seahawks 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 Isaiah Likely will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.

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

Projected is Isaiah Likely's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Seahawks 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 Likely 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 · Isaiah LikelyMedium confidence · 14.2 proj ptsStart
  • Isaiah Likely averages 27.8 PPR points over 1 game (recent-weighted 27.8) and has played as the team's TE1.
  • The Seahawks have allowed 12.7 points to TE1s over 2 games (+23% vs league). The model applies 40% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a +9% adjustment.
  • Last season's average (5.6) is blended in at 67% weight because this season's sample is small.
  • Projection: 14.2 points.
  • For reference, a typical weekly starter-level TE scores about 13.1 and a top-tier one about 19.6.

Prediction & chance to scoreIsaiah Likely vs the Seahawks

Prediction for Isaiah Likely

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

If Isaiah Likely plays as
14.2
projected PPR points

I predict about 14.2 points for Isaiah Likely if playing as a TE1. Isaiah Likely has averaged 27.8 over 1 game, and the Seahawks have given up 12.7 to TE1s (+23% vs the league average of 10.3).

How this projection is built

1. The player. Isaiah Likely scored: Wk 1 27.8. Average 27.8; weighted toward recent games it is 13.0.

2. The defense. Over 2 games, the Seahawks allowed 12.7 points to their opponent's TE1. The league average for that slot is 10.3, so that is +23%.

3. Trusting small samples less. With 2 defensive games, only 40% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a +9% adjustment (x1.09).

4. Result. 13.0 x 1.09 = 14.2. 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 Isaiah Likely is to reach it as a TE1.

43%
chance of 14+ PPR points
Why this percentage?

The projection (14.2) 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 8.5 points, leaning on Isaiah Likely'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 14.

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%.
