How Olamide Zaccheaus should do vs the PanthersSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection

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

What is this table?

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

Compare against picks which group of Panthers 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 Olamide Zaccheaus will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.

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

Projected is Olamide Zaccheaus's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Panthers 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.

Start / Sit · Olamide ZaccheausMedium confidence · 3.9 proj ptsSit

Olamide Zaccheaus usually plays as the team's WR3, so the verdict uses the WR3 numbers, not the slot selected above.

  • Olamide Zaccheaus averages 1.4 PPR points over 2 games (recent-weighted 1.4) and has played as the team's WR3.
  • The Panthers have allowed 5.2 points to WR3s over 2 games (+13% vs league). The model applies 40% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a +5% adjustment.
  • Last season's average (6.1) is blended in at 50% weight because this season's sample is small.
  • Projection: 3.9 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.
Prediction & chance to scoreOlamide Zaccheaus vs the Panthers

Prediction for Olamide Zaccheaus

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

If Olamide Zaccheaus plays as
5.3
projected PPR points

I predict about 5.3 points for Olamide Zaccheaus if playing as a WR3. Olamide Zaccheaus has averaged 1.5 over 1 game, and the Panthers have given up 7.2 to WR3s (+64% vs the league average of 4.4).

How this projection is built

1. The player. Olamide Zaccheaus scored: Wk 1 1.5. Average 1.5; weighted toward recent games it is 4.5.

2. The defense. Over 1 game, the Panthers allowed 7.2 points to their opponent's WR3. The league average for that slot is 4.4, so that is +64%.

3. Trusting small samples less. With 1 defensive game, only 25% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a +16% adjustment (x1.16).

4. Result. 4.5 x 1.16 = 5.3. 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 Olamide Zaccheaus is to reach it as a WR3.

45%
chance of 5+ PPR points
Why this percentage?

The projection (5.3) 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 3.2 points, leaning on Olamide Zaccheaus'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 5.

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%.
