How Theo Wease Jr. should do vs the TexansSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Texans, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Theo Wease Jr. has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Texans 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 Theo Wease Jr. will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Texans avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Theo Wease Jr.'s own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Theo Wease Jr. usually produces.
Projected is Theo Wease Jr.'s recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Texans 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.

| 6 | KC | 3 | 2 | 21 | 0 | 4.1 |
| Jr. avg | 2.0 | 1.5 | 18.5 | 0.0 | 3.3 | |
| Texans WR3 avg | 3.0 | 1.9 | 21.6 | 0.0 | 4.1 | |

| Projected as WR3 | 1.9 | 1.4 | 17.6 | 0.0 | 3.3 | |
Difference is what the defense allows minus what Jr. 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 · Theo Wease Jr.Medium confidence · 3.1 proj pts1/10 start
- Theo Wease Jr. averages 3.3 PPR points over 2 games (recent-weighted 3.4) and has played as the team's WR3.
- The Texans have allowed 4.1 points to WR3s over 7 games (-7% vs league). The model applies 70% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a -5% adjustment.
- Game environment -6%: Vegas total 40.5, implied 17.5 points for LAC (league avg 22.6); Underdog by 5.5: likely to pass more while trailing; Indoors: no weather effect, a small boost for passing and kicking.
- Opposing-defense injuries (+1%): Opposing starter Reed Blankenship (S) is questionable, which helps the passing game. Opposing starter Azeez Al-Shaair (LB) is questionable, which helps the passing game.
- Projection: 3.1 points.
- For reference, a typical weekly starter-level WR scores about 12.2 and a top-tier one about 20.9.

Prediction & chance to scoreTheo Wease Jr. vs the Texans
Prediction for Theo Wease Jr.
Nobody knows which slot Theo Wease Jr. will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Texans.
I predict about 3.3 points for Theo Wease Jr. if playing as a WR3. Theo Wease Jr. has averaged 3.3 over 2 games, and the Texans have given up 4.1 to WR3s (-7% vs the league average of 4.4).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Theo Wease Jr. scored: Wk 5 2.6, Wk 6 4.1. Average 3.3; weighted toward recent games it is 3.4.
2. The defense. Over 7 games, the Texans allowed 4.1 points to their opponent's WR3. The league average for that slot is 4.4, so that is -7%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 7 defensive games, only 70% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -5% adjustment (x0.95).
4. Result. 3.4 x 0.95 = 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 Theo Wease Jr. is to reach it as a WR3.
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 Theo Wease Jr.'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 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%.
