Heads up
  • Teammate Carnell Tate (a top target) is out, so Bellinger 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.

How Daniel Bellinger should do vs the ColtsSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection

Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Colts, plus a projection for this game.

What is this table?

Rows at the top are every game Daniel Bellinger has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.

Compare against picks which group of Colts 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 Daniel Bellinger will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.

Colts avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Daniel Bellinger's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Daniel Bellinger usually produces.

Projected is Daniel Bellinger's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Colts 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.

Prediction & chance to scoreDaniel Bellinger vs the Colts

Prediction for Daniel Bellinger

Nobody knows which slot Daniel Bellinger will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Colts.

If Daniel Bellinger plays as
3.0
projected PPR points

I predict about 3.0 points for Daniel Bellinger if playing as a TE1. Daniel Bellinger has averaged 1.6 over 5 games, and the Colts have given up 13.3 to TE1s (+28% vs the league average of 10.4).

How this projection is built

1. The player. Daniel Bellinger scored: Wk 1 1.7, Wk 2 0.0, Wk 3 3.6, Wk 4 1.2, Wk 5 1.5. Average 1.6; weighted toward recent games it is 2.6.

2. The defense. Over 5 games, the Colts allowed 13.3 points to their opponent's TE1. The league average for that slot is 10.4, so that is +28%.

3. Trusting small samples less. With 5 defensive games, only 63% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a +18% adjustment (x1.18).

4. Result. 2.6 x 1.18 = 3.0. 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 Daniel Bellinger is to reach it as a TE1.

45%
chance of 3+ PPR points
Why this percentage?

The projection (3.0) 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 1.4 points, leaning on Daniel Bellinger'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 3.

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%.

InsightsPlain-English takeaways from the table
  • TE1s have averaged 4.4 receptions, 41.2 receiving yards and 0.8 receiving TDs against the Colts across 5 games.
  • The Colts allow 13.3 PPR points to TE1s, +28% versus the league average of 10.4 (ranked 8 of 32, where 1 is most generous). That is a favorable matchup.

  • Outlier: Week 4, Chig Okonkwo (2.5 pts, 2 rec, 5 yds) sits far below the other games and drags the averages down. Average with it vs without it: pts 13.3 vs 16.1; rec 4.4 vs 5.0; yds 41.2 vs 50.3. The table above keeps the raw averages.
