How Garrett Wilson should do vs the PackersSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection

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

What is this table?

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

Compare against picks which group of Packers 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 Garrett Wilson will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.

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

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

Start / Sit · Garrett WilsonMedium confidence · 17.3 proj ptsStart
  • Garrett Wilson averages 15.3 PPR points over 2 games (recent-weighted 15.5) and has played as the team's WR1.
  • The Packers have allowed 23.9 points to WR1s over 2 games (+41% vs league). The model applies 40% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a +17% adjustment.
  • Last season's average (14.2) is blended in at 50% weight because this season's sample is small.
  • Projection: 17.3 points.
  • For reference, a typical weekly starter-level WR scores about 11.8 and a top-tier one about 20.8.

Prediction & chance to scoreGarrett Wilson vs the Packers

Prediction for Garrett Wilson

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

If Garrett Wilson plays as
17.1
projected PPR points

I predict about 17.1 points for Garrett Wilson if playing as a WR1. Garrett Wilson has averaged 13.9 over 1 game, and the Packers have given up 31.2 to WR1s (+84% vs the league average of 17.0).

How this projection is built

1. The player. Garrett Wilson scored: Wk 1 13.9. Average 13.9; weighted toward recent games it is 14.1.

2. The defense. Over 1 game, the Packers allowed 31.2 points to their opponent's WR1. The league average for that slot is 17.0, so that is +84%.

3. Trusting small samples less. With 1 defensive game, only 25% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a +21% adjustment (x1.21).

4. Result. 14.1 x 1.21 = 17.1. 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 Garrett Wilson is to reach it as a WR1.

42%
chance of 17+ PPR points
Why this percentage?

The projection (17.1) 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 10.2 points, leaning on Garrett Wilson'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 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%.

InsightsPlain-English takeaways from the table
