How Nate Adkins should do vs the 49ersSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the 49ers, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Nate Adkins has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of 49ers 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 Nate Adkins will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
49ers avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Nate Adkins's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Nate Adkins usually produces.
Projected is Nate Adkins's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the 49ers 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.

| Projected as TE1 | 2.2 | 2.2 | 22.9 | 0.7 | 4.4 | |
Difference is what the defense allows minus what Adkins 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 · Nate AdkinsMedium confidence · 4.4 proj ptsSit
- Nate Adkins averages 12.8 PPR points over 1 game (recent-weighted 12.8) and has played as the team's TE1.
- The 49ers have allowed 3.0 points to TE1s over 2 games (-71% vs league). The model applies 40% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a -28% adjustment.
- Last season's average (2.8) is blended in at 67% weight because this season's sample is small.
- Projection: 4.4 points.
- For reference, a typical weekly starter-level TE scores about 13.1 and a top-tier one about 19.6.

Prediction & chance to scoreNate Adkins vs the 49ers
Prediction for Nate Adkins
Nobody knows which slot Nate Adkins will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the 49ers.
I predict about 4.4 points for Nate Adkins if playing as a TE1. Nate Adkins has averaged 12.8 over 1 game, and the 49ers have given up 3.0 to TE1s (-71% vs the league average of 10.3).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Nate Adkins scored: Wk 2 12.8. Average 12.8; weighted toward recent games it is 6.1.
2. The defense. Over 2 games, the 49ers allowed 3.0 points to their opponent's TE1. The league average for that slot is 10.3, so that is -71%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 2 defensive games, only 40% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -28% adjustment (x0.72).
4. Result. 6.1 x 0.72 = 4.4. 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 Nate Adkins is to reach it as a TE1.
Why this percentage?
The projection (4.4) 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 2.6 points, leaning on Nate Adkins'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 4.
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%.
