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

| Cowboys TE1 avg | 4.5 | 4.5 | 46.0 | 1.0 | 15.1 | |
| Difference | -0.6 | +0.9 | +18.8 | +0.9 | +8.3 | |
Difference is what the defense allows minus what Andrews 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 scoreMark Andrews vs the Cowboys
Prediction for Mark Andrews
Nobody knows which slot Mark Andrews will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Cowboys.
I predict about 10.5 points for Mark Andrews if playing as a TE1. Mark Andrews has averaged 9.9 over 2 games, and the Cowboys have given up 15.1 to TE1s (+46% vs the league average of 10.4).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Mark Andrews scored: Wk 1 8.9, Wk 2 10.9. Average 9.9; weighted toward recent games it is 8.9.
2. The defense. Over 2 games, the Cowboys allowed 15.1 points to their opponent's TE1. The league average for that slot is 10.4, so that is +46%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 2 defensive games, only 40% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a +18% adjustment (x1.18).
4. Result. 8.9 x 1.18 = 10.5. 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 Mark Andrews is to reach it as a TE1.
Why this percentage?
The projection (10.5) 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 6.3 points, leaning on Mark Andrews'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 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%.
