Devin Duvernay
WR
Arizona Cardinals
- Teammate Michael Wilson (a top target) is questionable.
- Teammate Kendrick Bourne (a top target) is on IR, so Duvernay may see more targets.
A hurt top target or lead back nudges the projection up a little, since their work tends to shift to teammates. QB and offensive-line flags are shown for context but do not change the number.
This is how WRs have played against the Saints in the 2026 season.
WR3 = the third-highest-scoring WR against Saints in each game, not a fixed depth-chart spot.

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

| Duvernay avg | 2.0 | 2.0 | 14.0 | 0.0 | 3.4 | |

| Projected as WR3 | 1.5 | 1.5 | 10.8 | 0.0 | 2.6 | |
Difference is what the defense allows minus what Duvernay averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.
Start / Sit · Devin DuvernayLow confidence · 2.6 proj pts1/10 start
- Devin Duvernay averages 3.4 PPR points over 1 game (recent-weighted 3.4) and has played as the team's WR3.
- The Saints have allowed 2.9 points to WR3s over 7 games (-33% vs league). The model applies 70% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a -23% adjustment.
- Projection: 2.6 points.
- For reference, a typical weekly starter-level WR scores about 12.2 and a top-tier one about 20.9.
- Confidence is low: too few games for either the player or the defense. Use this as a rough lean, not a lock.
- A statistical model from box scores, Vegas lines, weather and injury tags. It cannot see role changes or in-game events.
Prediction & chance to scoreDevin Duvernay vs the Saints
Prediction for Devin Duvernay
Nobody knows which slot Devin Duvernay will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Saints.
I predict about 2.6 points for Devin Duvernay if playing as a WR3. Devin Duvernay has averaged 3.4 over 1 game, and the Saints have given up 2.9 to WR3s (-33% vs the league average of 4.4).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Devin Duvernay scored: Wk 8 3.4. Average 3.4; weighted toward recent games it is 3.4.
2. The defense. Over 7 games, the Saints allowed 2.9 points to their opponent's WR3. The league average for that slot is 4.4, so that is -33%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 7 defensive games, only 70% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -23% adjustment (x0.77).
4. Result. 3.4 x 0.77 = 2.6. 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 Devin Duvernay is to reach it as a WR3.
Why this percentage?
The projection (2.6) 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 1.6 points, leaning on Devin Duvernay'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 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%.
