How DJ Giddens 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 DJ Giddens 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 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 DJ Giddens 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 DJ Giddens's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than DJ Giddens usually produces.
Projected is DJ Giddens'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.

Difference is what the defense allows minus what Giddens averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.
