Heads up
  • Quarterback Deshaun Watson is questionable. Watch the status.
  • Teammate Denzel Boston (a top target) is questionable.
  • Teammate Harold Fannin Jr. (a top target) is questionable.

A hurt top target or lead back nudges the projection up a little, since their work tends to shift to teammates. QB and offensive-line flags are shown for context but do not change the number.

How Raheim Sanders should do vs the TitansSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection

Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Titans, plus a projection for this game.

What is this table?

Rows at the top are every game Raheim Sanders has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.

Compare against picks which group of Titans 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 Raheim Sanders will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.

Titans avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Raheim Sanders's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Raheim Sanders usually produces.

Projected is Raheim Sanders's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Titans 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 Sanders 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 scoreRaheim Sanders vs the Titans

Prediction for Raheim Sanders

Nobody knows which slot Raheim Sanders will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Titans.

If Raheim Sanders plays as
3.9
projected PPR points

I predict about 3.9 points for Raheim Sanders if playing as a RB2. Raheim Sanders has averaged 4.5 over 5 games, and the Titans have given up 3.7 to RB2s (-21% vs the league average of 4.7).

How this projection is built

1. The player. Raheim Sanders scored: Wk 1 5.6, Wk 2 2.1, Wk 3 9.1, Wk 4 3.6, Wk 5 2.3. Average 4.5; weighted toward recent games it is 4.5.

2. The defense. Over 6 games, the Titans allowed 3.7 points to their opponent's RB2. The league average for that slot is 4.7, so that is -21%.

3. Trusting small samples less. With 6 defensive games, only 67% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -14% adjustment (x0.86).

4. Result. 4.5 x 0.86 = 3.9. 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 Raheim Sanders is to reach it as a RB2.

39%
chance of 4+ PPR points
Why this percentage?

The projection (3.9) 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 2.8 points, leaning on Raheim Sanders's own game-to-game swings once there are several games (and on typical RB 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 5 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%.
