How Khalil Herbert 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 Khalil Herbert 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 RB they faced in each game (1), the second best (2), the third best (3), or all of the top three. Nobody knows which slot Khalil Herbert 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 Khalil Herbert's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Khalil Herbert usually produces.
Projected is Khalil Herbert'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.

| Difference | +0.2 | +1.2 | +0.0 | +1.5 | +1.2 | +3.7 | +0.0 | +1.6 | |
Difference is what the defense allows minus what Herbert averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.
