How Will Mallory should do vs the SteelersSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Steelers, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Will Mallory has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Steelers 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 Will Mallory will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Steelers avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Will Mallory's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Will Mallory usually produces.
Projected is Will Mallory's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Steelers 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.
| Wk | Opp | Tgt | Rec | ReYd | ReTD | FPts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | TEN | 6 | 2 | 20 | 0 | 4.0 |
| 7 | MIN | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.0 |
| Mallory avg | 4.5 | 1.0 | 10.0 | 0.0 | 2.0 | |
| Steelers TE1 avg | 3.5 | 2.3 | 26.0 | 0.5 | 7.8 | |
| Difference | -1.0 | +1.3 | +16.0 | +0.5 | +5.8 | |
Difference is what the defense allows minus what Mallory averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.
