Low confidence
  • Zachariah Branch averages 3.4 PPR points over 1 game (recent-weighted 3.4) and has played as the team's WR2.
  • The Panthers have allowed 6.5 points to WR2s over 2 games (-22% vs league). The model applies 40% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a -9% adjustment.
  • Projection: 3.1 points.
  • For reference, a typical weekly starter-level WR scores about 11.8 and a top-tier one about 20.8.
  • 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.

Zachariah Branch's stats vs the Panthers

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 Zachariah Branch 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 Zachariah Branch 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 Zachariah Branch's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Zachariah Branch usually produces.

Projected is Zachariah Branch'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.
