How David Njoku should do vs the RaidersSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Raiders, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game David Njoku has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Raiders opponents to line them up with: the best TE they faced in each game (1), the second best (2), the third best (3), or all of the top three. Nobody knows which slot David Njoku will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Raiders avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus David Njoku's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than David Njoku usually produces.
Projected is David Njoku's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Raiders 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.
| Wk | Opp | Tgt | Rec | ReYd | ReTD | FPts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | ARI | 5 | 5 | 58 | 0 | 10.8 |
| 2 | LV | 3 | 1 | 9 | 0 | 1.9 |
| Njoku avg | 4.0 | 3.0 | 33.5 | 0.0 | 6.4 | |
| Raiders TE1 avg | 2.0 | 2.0 | 18.0 | 0.0 | 3.8 | |
| Difference | -2.0 | -1.0 | -15.5 | +0.0 | -2.6 | |
Difference is what the defense allows minus what Njoku averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.
Prediction & chance to scoreDavid Njoku vs the Raiders
Prediction for David Njoku
Nobody knows which slot David Njoku will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Raiders.
I predict about 7.4 points for David Njoku if playing as a TE1. David Njoku has averaged 10.8 over 1 game, and the Raiders have given up 3.8 to TE1s (-63% vs the league average of 10.3).
How this projection is built
1. The player. David Njoku scored: Wk 1 10.8. Average 10.8; weighted toward recent games it is 8.8.
2. The defense. Over 1 game, the Raiders allowed 3.8 points to their opponent's TE1. The league average for that slot is 10.3, so that is -63%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 1 defensive game, only 25% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -16% adjustment (x0.84).
4. Result. 8.8 x 0.84 = 7.4. 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 David Njoku is to reach it as a TE1.
Why this percentage?
The projection (7.4) 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 4.5 points, leaning on David Njoku's own game-to-game swings once there are several games (and on typical TE 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 7.
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%.
InsightsPlain-English takeaways from the table

- Small sample: only 1 game so far. Treat these numbers as directional, not settled.
