How KeAndre Lambert-Smith should do vs the BuccaneersSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Buccaneers, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game KeAndre Lambert-Smith has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Buccaneers 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 KeAndre Lambert-Smith will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Buccaneers avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus KeAndre Lambert-Smith's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than KeAndre Lambert-Smith usually produces.
Projected is KeAndre Lambert-Smith's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Buccaneers 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 WR2 | 8.3 | 4.6 | 29.6 | 0.0 | 3.3 | |
Difference is what the defense allows minus what Lambert-Smith 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 · KeAndre Lambert-SmithMedium confidence · 3.3 proj pts1/10 start
- KeAndre Lambert-Smith averages 6.2 PPR points over 1 game (recent-weighted 6.2) and has played as the team's WR2.
- The Buccaneers have allowed 7.9 points to WR2s over 8 games (-10% vs league). The model applies 73% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a -7% adjustment.
- Last season's average (2.3) is blended in at 67% weight because this season's sample is small.
- Projection: 3.3 points.
- For reference, a typical weekly starter-level WR scores about 12.2 and a top-tier one about 20.9.

Prediction & chance to scoreKeAndre Lambert-Smith vs the Buccaneers
Prediction for KeAndre Lambert-Smith
Nobody knows which slot KeAndre Lambert-Smith will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Buccaneers.
I predict about 3.3 points for KeAndre Lambert-Smith if playing as a WR2. KeAndre Lambert-Smith has averaged 6.2 over 1 game, and the Buccaneers have given up 7.9 to WR2s (-10% vs the league average of 8.8).
How this projection is built
1. The player. KeAndre Lambert-Smith scored: Wk 6 6.2. Average 6.2; weighted toward recent games it is 3.6.
2. The defense. Over 8 games, the Buccaneers allowed 7.9 points to their opponent's WR2. The league average for that slot is 8.8, so that is -10%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 8 defensive games, only 73% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -7% adjustment (x0.93).
4. Result. 3.6 x 0.93 = 3.3. 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 KeAndre Lambert-Smith is to reach it as a WR2.
Why this percentage?
The projection (3.3) 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 2.0 points, leaning on KeAndre Lambert-Smith'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 3.
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%.
