Tyler Goodson
RB
Dallas Cowboys
- Teammate George Pickens (a top target) is questionable.
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 RBs have played against the 49ers in the 2026 season.
RB2 = the second-highest-scoring RB against 49ers in each game, not a fixed depth-chart spot.

How Tyler Goodson 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 Tyler Goodson 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 Tyler Goodson 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 Tyler Goodson's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Tyler Goodson usually produces.
Projected is Tyler Goodson'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 is what the defense allows minus what Goodson 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 · Tyler GoodsonGood confidence · 2.5 proj pts1/10 start
- Tyler Goodson averages 3.0 PPR points over 5 games (recent-weighted 3.4) and has played as the team's RB2.
- The 49ers have allowed 4.7 points to RB2s over 7 games (-9% vs league). The model applies 70% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a -6% adjustment.
- Last season's average (0.7) is blended in at 29% weight because this season's sample is small.
- Projection: 2.5 points.
- For reference, a typical weekly starter-level RB scores about 13.1 and a top-tier one about 20.9.

Prediction & chance to scoreTyler Goodson vs the 49ers
Prediction for Tyler Goodson
Nobody knows which slot Tyler Goodson will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the 49ers.
I predict about 2.5 points for Tyler Goodson if playing as a RB2. Tyler Goodson has averaged 3.0 over 5 games, and the 49ers have given up 4.7 to RB2s (-9% vs the league average of 5.1).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Tyler Goodson scored: Wk 3 2.7, Wk 4 1.2, Wk 6 1.9, Wk 7 3.8, Wk 8 5.3. Average 3.0; weighted toward recent games it is 2.6.
2. The defense. Over 7 games, the 49ers allowed 4.7 points to their opponent's RB2. The league average for that slot is 5.1, so that is -9%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 7 defensive games, only 70% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -6% adjustment (x0.94).
4. Result. 2.6 x 0.94 = 2.5. 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 Tyler Goodson is to reach it as a RB2.
Why this percentage?
The projection (2.5) 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 1.6 points, leaning on Tyler Goodson's own game-to-game swings once there are several games (and on typical RB 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 2.
With only 5 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%.
