How Antonio Williams should do vs the CowboysSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Cowboys, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Antonio Williams has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Cowboys 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 Antonio Williams will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Cowboys avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Antonio Williams's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Antonio Williams usually produces.
Projected is Antonio Williams's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Cowboys 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.

| Projected as WR2 | 3.1 | 3.1 | 39.3 | 0.4 | 14.7 | |
Difference is what the defense allows minus what Williams averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.

Antonio Williams usually plays as the team's WR2, so the verdict uses the WR2 numbers, not the slot selected above.
- Antonio Williams averages 10.9 PPR points over 2 games (recent-weighted 10.3) and has played as the team's WR2.
- The Cowboys have allowed 5.8 points to WR2s over 2 games (-29% vs league). The model applies 40% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a -12% adjustment.
- Projection: 9.1 points.
- For reference, a typical weekly starter-level WR scores about 11.8 and a top-tier one about 20.8.

Prediction & chance to scoreAntonio Williams vs the Cowboys
Prediction for Antonio Williams
Nobody knows which slot Antonio Williams will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Cowboys.
I predict about 14.7 points for Antonio Williams if playing as a WR2. Antonio Williams has averaged 16.4 over 1 game, and the Cowboys have given up 4.7 to WR2s (-43% vs the league average of 8.2).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Antonio Williams scored: Wk 1 16.4. Average 16.4; weighted toward recent games it is 16.4.
2. The defense. Over 1 game, the Cowboys allowed 4.7 points to their opponent's WR2. The league average for that slot is 8.2, so that is -43%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 1 defensive game, only 25% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -11% adjustment (x0.89).
4. Result. 16.4 x 0.89 = 14.7. 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 Antonio Williams is to reach it as a WR2.
Why this percentage?
The projection (14.7) 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 8.8 points, leaning on Antonio Williams'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 15.
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%.
