How Jaylen Warren 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 Jaylen Warren 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 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 Jaylen Warren 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 Jaylen Warren's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Jaylen Warren usually produces.
Projected is Jaylen Warren'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.

| Difference | +4.1 | +4.7 | +0.9 | -1.3 | -0.3 | -16.9 | +0.0 | +3.8 | |
Difference is what the defense allows minus what Warren 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 scoreJaylen Warren vs the Saints
Prediction for Jaylen Warren
Nobody knows which slot Jaylen Warren 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 21.0 points for Jaylen Warren if playing as a RB1. Jaylen Warren has averaged 17.1 over 6 games, and the Saints have given up 21.4 to RB1s (+35% vs the league average of 15.8).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Jaylen Warren scored: Wk 1 10.3, Wk 2 9.7, Wk 3 20.6, Wk 4 15.6, Wk 5 36.8, Wk 6 9.8. Average 17.1; weighted toward recent games it is 17.0.
2. The defense. Over 6 games, the Saints allowed 21.4 points to their opponent's RB1. The league average for that slot is 15.8, so that is +35%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 6 defensive games, only 67% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a +24% adjustment (x1.24).
4. Result. 17.0 x 1.24 = 21.0. 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 Jaylen Warren is to reach it as a RB1.
Why this percentage?
The projection (21.0) 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 10.6 points, leaning on Jaylen Warren'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 21.
With only 6 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%.
