Prediction for Rashid Shaheed

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

If Rashid Shaheed plays as
8.6
projected PPR points

I predict about 8.6 points for Rashid Shaheed if playing as a WR3. Rashid Shaheed has averaged 4.2 over 2 games, and the Rams have given up 13.0 to WR3s (+185% vs the league average of 4.6).

How this projection is built

1. The player. Rashid Shaheed scored: Wk 1 1.4, Wk 2 6.9. Average 4.2; weighted toward recent games it is 6.6.

2. The defense. Over 1 game, the Rams allowed 13.0 points to their opponent's WR3. The league average for that slot is 4.6, so that is +185%.

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

4. Result. 6.6 x 1.30 = 8.6. 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 Rashid Shaheed is to reach it as a WR3.

39%
chance of 9+ PPR points
Why this percentage?

The projection (8.6) 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 5.1 points, leaning on Rashid Shaheed'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 9.

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%.

Insights

  • WR1s have averaged 6.0 receptions, 48.0 receiving yards and 1.0 receiving TDs against the Rams across 1 game.
  • The Rams allow 18.0 PPR points to WR1s, +6% versus the league average of 17.0 (ranked 13 of 32, where 1 is most generous). That is a near-average matchup.
  • WR1s scored a touchdown in 1 of 1 games (100%).
  • Small sample: only 1 game so far. Treat these numbers as directional, not settled.

Low confidence

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

  • Rashid Shaheed averages 4.2 PPR points over 2 games (recent-weighted 4.5) and has played as the team's WR3.
  • The Rams have allowed 13.0 points to WR3s over 1 game (+185% vs league). The model applies 25% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a +30% adjustment.
  • Last season's average (8.7) is blended in at 50% weight because this season's sample is small.
  • Projection: 8.6 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.

Rashid Shaheed's stats vs the Rams

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

What is this table?

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

Compare against picks which group of Rams 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 Rashid Shaheed will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.

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

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