How LaJohntay Wester should do vs the BengalsSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Bengals, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game LaJohntay Wester has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Bengals opponents to line them up with: the best WR they faced in each game (1), the second best (2), the third best (3), or all of the top three. Nobody knows which slot LaJohntay Wester will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Bengals avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus LaJohntay Wester's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than LaJohntay Wester usually produces.
Projected is LaJohntay Wester's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Bengals 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | IND | 2 | 2 | 15 | 0 | 3.5 |
| 2 | NO | 2 | 1 | 14 | 0 | 2.4 |
| 7 | CIN | 1 | 1 | 15 | 0 | 2.5 |
| Wester avg | 1.7 | 1.3 | 14.7 | 0.0 | 2.8 | |
| Bengals WR3 avg | 2.6 | 1.6 | 30.8 | 0.2 | 6.1 | |
| Difference | +0.9 | +0.3 | +16.1 | +0.2 | +3.3 | |
Difference is what the defense allows minus what Wester 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 scoreLaJohntay Wester vs the Bengals
Prediction for LaJohntay Wester
Nobody knows which slot LaJohntay Wester will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Bengals.
I predict about 3.6 points for LaJohntay Wester if playing as a WR3. LaJohntay Wester has averaged 3.0 over 2 games, and the Bengals have given up 6.1 to WR3s (+38% vs the league average of 4.4).
How this projection is built
1. The player. LaJohntay Wester scored: Wk 1 3.5, Wk 2 2.4. Average 3.0; weighted toward recent games it is 2.9.
2. The defense. Over 5 games, the Bengals allowed 6.1 points to their opponent's WR3. The league average for that slot is 4.4, so that is +38%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 5 defensive games, only 63% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a +24% adjustment (x1.24).
4. Result. 2.9 x 1.24 = 3.6. 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 LaJohntay Wester is to reach it as a WR3.
Why this percentage?
The projection (3.6) 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 2.1 points, leaning on LaJohntay Wester's own game-to-game swings once there are several games (and on typical WR 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 4.
With only 2 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%.
