How Marquez Valdes-Scantling should do vs the JetsSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
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 Marquez Valdes-Scantling 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 Marquez Valdes-Scantling 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 Marquez Valdes-Scantling's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Marquez Valdes-Scantling usually produces.
Projected is Marquez Valdes-Scantling'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 Valdes-Scantling averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.

- The Jets have allowed 5.4 points to WR3s over 7 games (+24% vs league). The model applies 70% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a +17% adjustment.
- Last season's average (3.6) is blended in at 40% weight because this season's sample is small.
- Projection: 2.9 points.
- For reference, a typical weekly starter-level WR scores about 12.2 and a top-tier one about 20.9.

Prediction for Marquez Valdes-Scantling
Nobody knows which slot Marquez Valdes-Scantling will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Jets.
I predict about 2.9 points for Marquez Valdes-Scantling if playing as a WR3. Marquez Valdes-Scantling has averaged 1.4 over 3 games, and the Jets have given up 5.4 to WR3s (+24% vs the league average of 4.4).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Marquez Valdes-Scantling scored: Wk 3 0.0, Wk 4 0.0, Wk 5 4.2. Average 1.4; weighted toward recent games it is 2.5.
2. The defense. Over 7 games, the Jets allowed 5.4 points to their opponent's WR3. The league average for that slot is 4.4, so that is +24%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 7 defensive games, only 70% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a +17% adjustment (x1.17).
4. Result. 2.5 x 1.17 = 2.9. 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 Marquez Valdes-Scantling is to reach it as a WR3.
Why this percentage?
The projection (2.9) 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 2.1 points, leaning on Marquez Valdes-Scantling'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 3.
With only 3 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%.
