How Blake Grupe should do vs the CardinalsSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Cardinals, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Blake Grupe has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Cardinals opponents to line them up with: the best K they faced in each game (1), the second best (2), the third best (3), or all of the top three. Nobody knows which slot Blake Grupe will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Cardinals avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Blake Grupe's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Blake Grupe usually produces.
Projected is Blake Grupe's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Cardinals 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.

| Projected as K1 | 1.0 | 1.0 | 1.0 | 45.4 | 0.0 | 6.8 | |
Difference is what the defense allows minus what Grupe 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 · Blake GrupeMedium confidence · 6.8 proj ptsOut
- Blake Grupe averages 4.0 PPR points over 1 game (recent-weighted 4.0) and has played as the team's K1.
- The Cardinals have allowed 9.0 points to K1s over 8 games (+4% vs league). The model applies 73% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a +3% adjustment.
- Last season's average (7.9) is blended in at 67% weight because this season's sample is small.
- Injury report: IR. The projection assumes the player plays.
- Projection: 6.8 points.
- For reference, a typical weekly starter-level K scores about 9.6 and a top-tier one about 14.8.

Prediction for Blake Grupe
Nobody knows which slot Blake Grupe will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Cardinals.
I predict about 6.8 points for Blake Grupe if playing as a K1. Blake Grupe has averaged 4.0 over 1 game, and the Cardinals have given up 9.0 to K1s (+4% vs the league average of 8.6).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Blake Grupe scored: Wk 6 4.0. Average 4.0; weighted toward recent games it is 6.6.
2. The defense. Over 8 games, the Cardinals allowed 9.0 points to their opponent's K1. The league average for that slot is 8.6, so that is +4%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 8 defensive games, only 73% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a +3% adjustment (x1.03).
4. Result. 6.6 x 1.03 = 6.8. 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 Blake Grupe is to reach it as a K1.
Why this percentage?
The projection (6.8) 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 4.1 points, leaning on Blake Grupe's own game-to-game swings once there are several games (and on typical K 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 7.
With only 1 game 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%.
