Prediction for Marvin Harrison Jr.
Nobody knows which slot Marvin Harrison Jr. will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Raiders.
I predict about 5.4 points for Marvin Harrison Jr. if playing as a WR3. Marvin Harrison Jr. has averaged 2.1 over 2 games, and the Raiders have given up 3.0 to WR3s (-35% vs the league average of 4.6).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Marvin Harrison Jr. scored: Wk 1 4.3, Wk 2 0.0. Average 2.1; weighted toward recent games it is 6.3.
2. The defense. Over 2 games, the Raiders allowed 3.0 points to their opponent's WR3. The league average for that slot is 4.6, so that is -35%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 2 defensive games, only 40% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -14% adjustment (x0.86).
4. Result. 6.3 x 0.86 = 5.4. 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 Marvin Harrison Jr. is to reach it as a WR3.
Why this percentage?
The projection (5.4) 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 3.2 points, leaning on Marvin Harrison Jr.'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 5.
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%.

Marvin Harrison Jr. usually plays as the team's WR3, so the verdict uses the WR3 numbers, not the slot selected above.
- Marvin Harrison Jr. averages 2.1 PPR points over 2 games (recent-weighted 1.9) and has played as the team's WR3.
- The Raiders have allowed 3.0 points to WR3s over 2 games (-35% vs league). The model applies 40% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a -14% adjustment.
- Last season's average (10.7) is blended in at 50% weight because this season's sample is small.
- Projection: 5.4 points.
- For reference, a typical weekly starter-level WR scores about 11.8 and a top-tier one about 20.8.

Marvin Harrison Jr.'s stats vs the Raiders
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Raiders, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Marvin Harrison Jr. has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Raiders 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 Marvin Harrison Jr. will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Raiders avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Marvin Harrison Jr.'s own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Marvin Harrison Jr. usually produces.
Projected is Marvin Harrison Jr.'s recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Raiders 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 | LAC | 3 | 1 | 33 | 0 | 4.3 |
| 2 | SEA | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.0 |
| Jr. avg | 2.0 | 0.5 | 16.5 | 0.0 | 2.1 | |
| Raiders WR1 avg | 5.0 | 4.0 | 64.5 | 0.0 | 10.4 | |
| Difference | +3.0 | +3.5 | +48.0 | +0.0 | +8.3 | |
| Projected as WR1 | 1.7 | 0.4 | 14.0 | 0.0 | 5.3 | |
Difference is what the defense allows minus what Jr. averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.
