Prediction & chance to scoreJaxon Smith-Njigba vs the Eagles

Prediction for Jaxon Smith-Njigba

Nobody knows which slot Jaxon Smith-Njigba will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Eagles.

If Jaxon Smith-Njigba plays as
25.3
projected PPR points

I predict about 25.3 points for Jaxon Smith-Njigba if playing as a WR1. Jaxon Smith-Njigba has averaged 34.4 over 2 games, and the Eagles have given up 12.6 to WR1s (-25% vs the league average of 17.0).

How this projection is built

1. The player. Jaxon Smith-Njigba scored: Wk 1 26.2, Wk 2 42.5. Average 34.4; weighted toward recent games it is 28.2.

2. The defense. Over 2 games, the Eagles allowed 12.6 points to their opponent's WR1. The league average for that slot is 17.0, so that is -25%.

3. Trusting small samples less. With 2 defensive games, only 40% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -10% adjustment (x0.90).

4. Result. 28.2 x 0.90 = 25.3. 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.

43%
chance of 25+ PPR points
Why this percentage?

The projection (25.3) 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 15.2 points, leaning on Jaxon Smith-Njigba'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 25.

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%.

  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba averages 34.4 PPR points over 2 games (recent-weighted 35.3) and has played as the team's WR1.
  • The Eagles have allowed 12.6 points to WR1s over 2 games (-25% vs league). The model applies 40% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a -10% adjustment.
  • Last season's average (21.2) is blended in at 50% weight because this season's sample is small.
  • Projection: 25.3 points.
  • For reference, a typical weekly starter-level WR scores about 11.8 and a top-tier one about 20.8.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba's stats vs the EaglesSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection

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

What is this table?

Rows at the top are every game Jaxon Smith-Njigba has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.

Compare against picks which group of Eagles 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 Jaxon Smith-Njigba will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.

Eagles avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Jaxon Smith-Njigba's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Jaxon Smith-Njigba usually produces.

Projected is Jaxon Smith-Njigba's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Eagles 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.
