Prediction for Emeka Egbuka
Nobody knows which slot Emeka Egbuka will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Chargers.
I predict about 11.7 points for Emeka Egbuka if playing as a WR1. Emeka Egbuka has averaged 10.8 over 2 games, and the Chargers have given up 19.2 to WR1s (+13% vs the league average of 17.0).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Emeka Egbuka scored: Wk 1 11.3, Wk 2 10.3. Average 10.8; weighted toward recent games it is 11.1.
2. The defense. Over 2 games, the Chargers allowed 19.2 points to their opponent's WR1. The league average for that slot is 17.0, so that is +13%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 2 defensive games, only 40% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a +5% adjustment (x1.05).
4. Result. 11.1 x 1.05 = 11.7. 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 Emeka Egbuka is to reach it as a WR1.
Why this percentage?
The projection (11.7) 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 7.0 points, leaning on Emeka Egbuka'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 12.
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
- top-3 WRs have averaged 3.8 receptions, 55.3 receiving yards and 0.5 receiving TDs per player-game against the Chargers across 2 games.
- The Chargers allow 37.1 PPR points to the position per game, +24% versus the league average of 29.8 (ranked 10 of 32, where 1 is most generous). That is a favorable matchup.
- Outlier: Week 2, Tre Tucker (22.9 pts, 119 yds) sits far above the other games and pulls the averages up. Average with it vs without it: pts 12.4 vs 10.3; yds 55.3 vs 42.6. The table above keeps the raw averages.
- Outlier: Week 1, Marvin Harrison Jr. (4.3 pts, 1 rec) sits far below the other games and drags the averages down. Average with it vs without it: pts 12.4 vs 14.0; rec 3.8 vs 4.4. The table above keeps the raw averages.
- 4 of 6 player-games reached 10+ PPR points. Scores range from 4.3 to 22.9 (median 13.1).
- top-3 WRs scored a touchdown in 2 of 6 player-games (33%).
- Small sample: only 2 games so far. Treat these numbers as directional, not settled.

Emeka Egbuka usually plays as the team's WR1, so the verdict uses the WR1 numbers, not the slot selected above.
- Emeka Egbuka averages 10.8 PPR points over 2 games (recent-weighted 10.7) and has played as the team's WR1.
- The Chargers have allowed 19.2 points to WR1s over 2 games (+13% vs league). The model applies 40% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a +5% adjustment.
- Last season's average (11.5) is blended in at 50% weight because this season's sample is small.
- Projection: 11.7 points.
- For reference, a typical weekly starter-level WR scores about 11.8 and a top-tier one about 20.8.

Emeka Egbuka's stats vs the Chargers
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Chargers, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Emeka Egbuka has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Chargers 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 Emeka Egbuka will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Chargers avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Emeka Egbuka's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Emeka Egbuka usually produces.
Projected is Emeka Egbuka's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Chargers 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 | CIN | 6 | 5 | 63 | 0 | 11.3 |
| 2 | CLE | 5 | 3 | 16 | 1 | 10.3 |
| Egbuka avg | 5.5 | 4.0 | 39.5 | 0.5 | 10.8 | |
| Chargers Top 3 avg | 4.8 | 3.8 | 55.3 | 0.5 | 12.4 | |
| Difference | -0.7 | -0.2 | +15.8 | +0.0 | +1.6 | |
| Projected | 5.8 | 4.2 | 41.6 | 0.5 | 11.7 | |
Difference is what the defense allows minus what Egbuka averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.
