How Chase Brown 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 Chase Brown 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 Chase Brown 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 Chase Brown's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Chase Brown usually produces.
Projected is Chase Brown'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 is what the defense allows minus what Brown 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 · Chase BrownGood confidence · 16.4 proj pts7/10 start
- Chase Brown averages 13.0 PPR points over 7 games (recent-weighted 12.8) and has played as the team's RB1.
- The Saints have allowed 20.7 points to RB1s over 7 games (+29% vs league). The model applies 70% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a +20% adjustment.
- Last season's average (16.6) is blended in at 22% weight because this season's sample is small.
- Projection: 16.4 points.
- For reference, a typical weekly starter-level RB scores about 13.1 and a top-tier one about 20.9.

Prediction & chance to scoreChase Brown vs the Saints
Prediction for Chase Brown
Nobody knows which slot Chase Brown 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 16.4 points for Chase Brown if playing as a RB1. Chase Brown has averaged 13.0 over 7 games, and the Saints have given up 20.7 to RB1s (+29% vs the league average of 16.1).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Chase Brown scored: Wk 1 18.8, Wk 2 11.2, Wk 3 8.9, Wk 4 19.1, Wk 5 7.0, Wk 7 9.8, Wk 8 16.1. Average 13.0; weighted toward recent games it is 13.6.
2. The defense. Over 7 games, the Saints allowed 20.7 points to their opponent's RB1. The league average for that slot is 16.1, so that is +29%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 7 defensive games, only 70% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a +20% adjustment (x1.20).
4. Result. 13.6 x 1.20 = 16.4. 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 Chase Brown is to reach it as a RB1.
Why this percentage?
The projection (16.4) 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 6.6 points, leaning on Chase Brown'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 16.
With only 7 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%.
