How Tetairoa McMillan should do vs the BroncosSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Broncos, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Tetairoa McMillan has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Broncos 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 Tetairoa McMillan will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Broncos avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Tetairoa McMillan's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Tetairoa McMillan usually produces.
Projected is Tetairoa McMillan's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Broncos 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 McMillan 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 · Tetairoa McMillanGood confidence · 14.0 proj pts7/10 start
- Tetairoa McMillan averages 15.6 PPR points over 7 games (recent-weighted 15.2) and has played as the team's WR2.
- The Broncos have allowed 8.5 points to WR2s over 8 games (-3% vs league). The model applies 73% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a -2% adjustment.
- Last season's average (12.6) is blended in at 22% weight because this season's sample is small.
- Game environment -4%: Vegas total 44.5, implied 21.0 points for CAR (league avg 22.6); Mild weather (64F, 5 mph wind): no weather adjustment.
- Opposing-defense injuries (+2%): Opposing starter Eyioma Uwazurike (DL) is questionable, which helps the passing game. Opposing starter Talanoa Hufanga (S) is questionable, which helps the passing game.
- Projection: 14.0 points.
- For reference, a typical weekly starter-level WR scores about 12.2 and a top-tier one about 20.9.
- A statistical model from box scores, Vegas lines, weather and injury tags. It cannot see role changes or in-game events.
Prediction & chance to scoreTetairoa McMillan vs the Broncos
Prediction for Tetairoa McMillan
Nobody knows which slot Tetairoa McMillan will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Broncos.
I predict about 14.2 points for Tetairoa McMillan if playing as a WR2. Tetairoa McMillan has averaged 15.6 over 7 games, and the Broncos have given up 8.5 to WR2s (-3% vs the league average of 8.8).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Tetairoa McMillan scored: Wk 1 10.5, Wk 2 15.1, Wk 3 3.7, Wk 4 45.2, Wk 6 14.6, Wk 7 8.0, Wk 8 11.8. Average 15.6; weighted toward recent games it is 14.6.
2. The defense. Over 8 games, the Broncos allowed 8.5 points to their opponent's WR2. The league average for that slot is 8.8, so that is -3%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 8 defensive games, only 73% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -2% adjustment (x0.98).
4. Result. 14.6 x 0.98 = 14.2. 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 Tetairoa McMillan is to reach it as a WR2.
Why this percentage?
The projection (14.2) 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 13.6 points, leaning on Tetairoa McMillan'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 14.
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%.
