How Caleb Douglas should do vs the 49ersSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the 49ers, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Caleb Douglas has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of 49ers 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 Caleb Douglas will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
49ers avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Caleb Douglas's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Caleb Douglas usually produces.
Projected is Caleb Douglas's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the 49ers 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.

| Projected as WR3 | 4.3 | 3.0 | 48.1 | 0.0 | 12.3 | |
Difference is what the defense allows minus what Douglas averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.

Caleb Douglas usually plays as the team's WR2, so the verdict uses the WR2 numbers, not the slot selected above.
- Caleb Douglas averages 9.2 PPR points over 2 games (recent-weighted 8.6) and has played as the team's WR2.
- The 49ers 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 -5% adjustment.
- Injury report: Questionable. The projection assumes the player plays.
- Projection: 8.1 points.
- For reference, a typical weekly starter-level WR scores about 11.8 and a top-tier one about 20.8.

Prediction & chance to scoreCaleb Douglas vs the 49ers
Prediction for Caleb Douglas
Nobody knows which slot Caleb Douglas will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the 49ers.
I predict about 13.3 points for Caleb Douglas if playing as a WR2. Caleb Douglas has averaged 14.4 over 1 game, and the 49ers have given up 5.6 to WR2s (-32% vs the league average of 8.2).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Caleb Douglas scored: Wk 1 14.4. Average 14.4; weighted toward recent games it is 14.4.
2. The defense. Over 1 game, the 49ers allowed 5.6 points to their opponent's WR2. The league average for that slot is 8.2, so that is -32%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 1 defensive game, only 25% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -8% adjustment (x0.92).
4. Result. 14.4 x 0.92 = 13.3. 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.
Chance to score
Type a point total to see how likely Caleb Douglas is to reach it as a WR2.
Why this percentage?
The projection (13.3) 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 8.0 points, leaning on Caleb Douglas'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 13.
With only 1 game 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%.
