Prediction for Denzel Boston

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

If Denzel Boston plays as
17.3
projected PPR points

I predict about 17.3 points for Denzel Boston if playing as a WR1. Denzel Boston has averaged 17.2 over 2 games, and the Ravens have given up 16.4 to WR1s (-4% vs the league average of 17.0).

How this projection is built

1. The player. Denzel Boston scored: Wk 1 13.9, Wk 2 20.5. Average 17.2; weighted toward recent games it is 17.6.

2. The defense. Over 2 games, the Ravens allowed 16.4 points to their opponent's WR1. The league average for that slot is 17.0, so that is -4%.

3. Trusting small samples less. With 2 defensive games, only 40% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -1% adjustment (x0.99).

4. Result. 17.6 x 0.99 = 17.3. 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 Denzel Boston is to reach it as a WR1.

43%
chance of 17+ PPR points
Why this percentage?

The projection (17.3) 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 10.4 points, leaning on Denzel Boston's own game-to-game swings once there are several games (and on typical WR 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 17.

With only 2 games 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%.

Insights

Medium confidence
  • Denzel Boston averages 17.2 PPR points over 2 games (recent-weighted 17.6) and has played as the team's WR1.
  • The Ravens have allowed 16.4 points to WR1s over 2 games (-4% vs league). The model applies 40% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a -1% adjustment.
  • Projection: 17.3 points.
  • For reference, a typical weekly starter-level WR scores about 11.8 and a top-tier one about 20.8.
  • A statistical model from box scores, Vegas lines, weather and injury tags. It cannot see role changes or in-game events.

Denzel Boston's stats vs the Ravens

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

What is this table?

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

Compare against picks which group of Ravens opponents to line them up with: the best WR they faced in each game (1), the second best (2), the third best (3), or all of the top three. Nobody knows which slot Denzel Boston will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.

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

Projected is Denzel Boston's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Ravens 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 Boston averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.
