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

| 2 | PHI | 1 | 1 | 9 | 0 | 1.9 |
| Robinson avg | 3.5 | 3.0 | 23.5 | 0.0 | 5.4 | |
| Lions Top 3 avg | 6.8 | 5.0 | 72.8 | 0.3 | 14.3 | |
| Difference | +3.3 | +2.0 | +49.3 | +0.3 | +8.9 | |
| Projected | 4.2 | 3.6 | 28.5 | 0.0 | 11.3 | |
Difference is what the defense allows minus what Robinson averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.

Wan'Dale Robinson usually plays as the team's WR3, so the verdict uses the WR3 numbers, not the slot selected above.
- Wan'Dale Robinson averages 5.4 PPR points over 2 games (recent-weighted 5.0) and has played as the team's WR3.
- The Lions have allowed 7.0 points to WR3s over 2 games (+53% vs league). The model applies 40% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a +21% adjustment.
- Last season's average (13.6) is blended in at 50% weight because this season's sample is small.
- Projection: 11.3 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.
Prediction & chance to scoreWan'Dale Robinson vs the Lions
Prediction for Wan'Dale Robinson
Nobody knows which slot Wan'Dale Robinson will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Lions.
I predict about 11.3 points for Wan'Dale Robinson if playing as a WR3. Wan'Dale Robinson has averaged 5.4 over 2 games, and the Lions have given up 7.0 to WR3s (+53% vs the league average of 4.6).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Wan'Dale Robinson scored: Wk 1 8.8, Wk 2 1.9. Average 5.4; weighted toward recent games it is 9.3.
2. The defense. Over 2 games, the Lions allowed 7.0 points to their opponent's WR3. The league average for that slot is 4.6, so that is +53%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 2 defensive games, only 40% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a +21% adjustment (x1.21).
4. Result. 9.3 x 1.21 = 11.3. 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 Wan'Dale Robinson is to reach it as a WR3.
Why this percentage?
The projection (11.3) 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 6.8 points, leaning on Wan'Dale Robinson'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 11.
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%.
