Prediction for Michael Wilson

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

If Michael Wilson plays as
10.2
projected PPR points

I predict about 10.2 points for Michael Wilson if playing as a WR2. Michael Wilson has averaged 7.2 over 2 games, and the Jets have given up 8.9 to WR2s (+8% vs the league average of 8.3).

How this projection is built

1. The player. Michael Wilson scored: Wk 1 10.6, Wk 2 3.8. Average 7.2; weighted toward recent games it is 9.9.

2. The defense. Over 2 games, the Jets allowed 8.9 points to their opponent's WR2. The league average for that slot is 8.3, so that is +8%.

3. Trusting small samples less. With 2 defensive games, only 40% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a +3% adjustment (x1.03).

4. Result. 9.9 x 1.03 = 10.2. 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 Michael Wilson is to reach it as a WR2.

43%
chance of 10+ PPR points
Why this percentage?

The projection (10.2) 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 6.1 points, leaning on Michael Wilson'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 10.

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 3.3 receptions, 32.0 receiving yards and 0.3 receiving TDs per player-game against the Jets across 2 games.
  • The Jets allow 25.6 PPR points to the position per game, -14% versus the league average of 29.8 (ranked 21 of 32, where 1 is most generous). That is a tough matchup.
  • Outlier: Week 2, Christian Watson (14.1 pts) sits far above the other games and pulls the averages up. Average with it vs without it: pts 8.5 vs 7.4. The table above keeps the raw averages.
  • Outlier: Week 2, Skyy Moore (2.6 pts) sits far below the other games and drags the averages down. Average with it vs without it: pts 8.5 vs 9.7. The table above keeps the raw averages.
  • 1 of 6 player-games reached 10+ PPR points. Scores range from 2.6 to 14.1 (median 8.4).
  • 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.

Medium confidence

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

  • Michael Wilson averages 7.2 PPR points over 2 games (recent-weighted 6.8) and has played as the team's WR2.
  • The Jets have allowed 8.9 points to WR2s over 2 games (+8% vs league). The model applies 40% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a +3% adjustment.
  • Last season's average (13.0) is blended in at 50% weight because this season's sample is small.
  • Projection: 10.2 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.

Michael Wilson's stats vs the Jets

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

What is this table?

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

Compare against picks which group of Jets 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 Michael Wilson will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.

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

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