How Marlin Klein should do vs the TitansSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Titans, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Marlin Klein has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Titans 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 Marlin Klein will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Titans avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Marlin Klein's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Marlin Klein usually produces.
Projected is Marlin Klein's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Titans 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | BUF | 1 | 1 | 16 | 0 | 2.6 |
| Klein avg | 1.0 | 1.0 | 16.0 | 0.0 | 2.6 | |
| Titans All avg | 2.4 | 1.8 | 7.0 | 0.0 | 3.8 | |
| Difference | +1.4 | +0.8 | -9.0 | +0.0 | +1.2 | |
| Projected | 0.9 | 0.9 | 14.0 | 0.0 | 2.3 | |
Difference is what the defense allows minus what Klein 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 · Marlin KleinLow confidence · 2.3 proj ptsSit
Marlin Klein usually plays as the team's TE1, so the verdict uses the TE1 numbers, not the slot selected above.
- Marlin Klein averages 2.6 PPR points over 1 game (recent-weighted 2.6) and has played as the team's TE1.
- The Titans have allowed 7.1 points to TE1s over 2 games (-31% vs league). The model applies 40% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a -12% adjustment.
- Projection: 2.3 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 scoreMarlin Klein vs the Titans
Prediction for Marlin Klein
Nobody knows which slot Marlin Klein will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Titans.
I predict about 2.3 points for Marlin Klein if playing as a TE1. Marlin Klein has averaged 2.6 over 1 game, and the Titans have given up 7.1 to TE1s (-31% vs the league average of 10.3).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Marlin Klein scored: Wk 1 2.6. Average 2.6; weighted toward recent games it is 2.6.
2. The defense. Over 2 games, the Titans allowed 7.1 points to their opponent's TE1. The league average for that slot is 10.3, so that is -31%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 2 defensive games, only 40% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -12% adjustment (x0.88).
4. Result. 2.6 x 0.88 = 2.3. 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 Marlin Klein is to reach it as a TE1.
Why this percentage?
The projection (2.3) 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 1.4 points, leaning on Marlin Klein'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 2.
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%.
InsightsPlain-English takeaways from the table
- all TEs have averaged 1.8 receptions, 7.0 receiving yards and 0.0 receiving TDs per player-game against the Titans across 2 games.
- The Titans allow 9.4 PPR points to the position per game, -27% versus the league average of 12.9 (ranked 24 of 32, where 1 is most generous). That is a tough matchup.
- Outlier: Week 1, Kenyon Sadiq (11.4 pts) sits far above the other games and pulls the averages up. Average with it vs without it: pts 3.8 vs 1.9. The table above keeps the raw averages.
- 1 of 5 player-games reached 7+ PPR points. Scores range from 1.4 to 11.4 (median 1.8).
- all TEs scored a touchdown in 1 of 5 player-games (20%).
- Small sample: only 2 games so far. Treat these numbers as directional, not settled.
