How Bryce Lance should do vs the GiantsSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection

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

What is this table?

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

Compare against picks which group of Giants 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 Bryce Lance will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.

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

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

Start / Sit · Bryce LanceLow confidence · 4.1 proj ptsSit

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

  • Bryce Lance averages 4.5 PPR points over 2 games (recent-weighted 4.2) and has played as the team's WR3.
  • The Giants have allowed 4.2 points to WR3s over 1 game (-8% vs league). The model applies 25% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a -2% adjustment.
  • Projection: 4.1 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 scoreBryce Lance vs the Giants

Prediction for Bryce Lance

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

If Bryce Lance plays as
4.1
projected PPR points

I predict about 4.1 points for Bryce Lance if playing as a WR3. Bryce Lance has averaged 4.5 over 2 games, and the Giants have given up 4.2 to WR3s (-8% vs the league average of 4.6).

How this projection is built

1. The player. Bryce Lance scored: Wk 1 7.2, Wk 2 1.8. Average 4.5; weighted toward recent games it is 4.2.

2. The defense. Over 1 game, the Giants allowed 4.2 points to their opponent's WR3. The league average for that slot is 4.6, so that is -8%.

3. Trusting small samples less. With 1 defensive game, only 25% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -2% adjustment (x0.98).

4. Result. 4.2 x 0.98 = 4.1. 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 Bryce Lance is to reach it as a WR3.

44%
chance of 4+ PPR points
Why this percentage?

The projection (4.1) 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 2.5 points, leaning on Bryce Lance'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 4.

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%.

InsightsPlain-English takeaways from the table
  • WR1s have averaged 5.0 receptions, 44.0 receiving yards and 1.0 receiving TDs against the Giants across 1 game.
  • The Giants allow 15.4 PPR points to WR1s, -9% versus the league average of 17.0 (ranked 18 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.
