How Darnell Mooney should do vs the RamsSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
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 Darnell Mooney 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 Darnell Mooney 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 Darnell Mooney's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Darnell Mooney usually produces.
Projected is Darnell Mooney'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.
| Wk | Opp | Tgt | Rec | ReYd | ReTD | FPts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | DAL | 2 | 2 | 27 | 0 | 4.7 |
| Mooney avg | 2.0 | 2.0 | 27.0 | 0.0 | 4.7 | |
| Rams WR1 avg | 7.0 | 6.0 | 48.0 | 1.0 | 18.0 | |
| Difference | +5.0 | +4.0 | +21.0 | +1.0 | +13.3 | |
| Projected as WR1 | 2.0 | 2.0 | 27.4 | 0.0 | 5.3 | |
Difference is what the defense allows minus what Mooney averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.

Darnell Mooney usually plays as the team's WR2, so the verdict uses the WR2 numbers, not the slot selected above.
- Darnell Mooney averages 4.7 PPR points over 1 game (recent-weighted 4.7) and has played as the team's WR2.
- The Rams have allowed 16.9 points to WR2s over 1 game (+104% vs league). The model applies 25% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a +26% adjustment.
- Last season's average (5.5) is blended in at 67% weight because this season's sample is small.
- Game environment +2%: Vegas total 47.5, implied 20.5 points for NYG (league avg 22.5); Underdog by 6.5: likely to pass more while trailing; Indoors: no weather effect, a small boost for passing and kicking.
- Opposing-defense injuries (+2%): Opposing starter Kamren Kinchens (S) is out, which helps the passing game.
- Projection: 6.8 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.
Prediction & chance to scoreDarnell Mooney vs the Rams
Prediction for Darnell Mooney
Nobody knows which slot Darnell Mooney will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Rams.
I predict about 6.6 points for Darnell Mooney if playing as a WR2. Darnell Mooney has averaged 4.7 over 1 game, and the Rams have given up 16.9 to WR2s (+106% vs the league average of 8.2).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Darnell Mooney scored: Wk 1 4.7. Average 4.7; weighted toward recent games it is 5.2.
2. The defense. Over 1 game, the Rams allowed 16.9 points to their opponent's WR2. The league average for that slot is 8.2, so that is +106%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 1 defensive game, only 25% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a +27% adjustment (x1.27).
4. Result. 5.2 x 1.27 = 6.6. 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 Darnell Mooney is to reach it as a WR2.
Why this percentage?
The projection (6.6) 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 4.0 points, leaning on Darnell Mooney'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 7.
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
