Devontez Walker usually plays as the team's WR2, so the verdict uses the WR2 numbers, not the slot selected above.

  • Devontez Walker averages 5.7 PPR points over 1 game (recent-weighted 5.7) and has played as the team's WR2.
  • The Saints have allowed 7.1 points to WR2s over 2 games (-14% vs league). The model applies 40% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a -6% adjustment.
  • Last season's average (7.5) is blended in at 67% weight because this season's sample is small.
  • Projection: 6.5 points.
  • For reference, a typical weekly starter-level WR scores about 11.8 and a top-tier one about 20.8.
  • A statistical model from box scores, Vegas lines, weather and injury tags. It cannot see role changes or in-game events.
Devontez Walker's stats vs the SaintsSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection

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

What is this table?

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

Compare against picks which group of Saints 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 Devontez Walker will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.

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

Projected is Devontez Walker's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Saints 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.
