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

Brevyn Spann-Ford usually plays as the team's TE1, so the verdict uses the TE1 numbers, not the slot selected above.
- Brevyn Spann-Ford averages 3.4 PPR points over 1 game (recent-weighted 3.4) and has played as the team's TE1.
- The Buccaneers have allowed 14.6 points to TE1s over 2 games (+42% vs league). The model applies 40% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a +17% adjustment.
- Last season's average (2.4) is blended in at 67% weight because this season's sample is small.
- Projection: 3.2 points.
- For reference, a typical weekly starter-level TE scores about 13.1 and a top-tier one about 19.6.

Prediction & chance to scoreBrevyn Spann-Ford vs the Buccaneers
Prediction for Brevyn Spann-Ford
Nobody knows which slot Brevyn Spann-Ford will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Buccaneers.
I predict about 3.2 points for Brevyn Spann-Ford if playing as a TE1. Brevyn Spann-Ford has averaged 3.4 over 1 game, and the Buccaneers have given up 14.6 to TE1s (+42% vs the league average of 10.3).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Brevyn Spann-Ford scored: Wk 1 3.4. Average 3.4; weighted toward recent games it is 2.7.
2. The defense. Over 2 games, the Buccaneers allowed 14.6 points to their opponent's TE1. The league average for that slot is 10.3, so that is +42%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 2 defensive games, only 40% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a +17% adjustment (x1.17).
4. Result. 2.7 x 1.17 = 3.2. 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 Brevyn Spann-Ford is to reach it as a TE1.
Why this percentage?
The projection (3.2) 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 1.9 points, leaning on Brevyn Spann-Ford'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 3.
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%.
