How RJ Harvey should do vs the ChargersSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Chargers, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game RJ Harvey has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Chargers 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 RJ Harvey will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Chargers avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus RJ Harvey's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than RJ Harvey usually produces.
Projected is RJ Harvey's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Chargers 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 Harvey 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 · RJ HarveyGood confidence · 12.8 proj ptsOut
- RJ Harvey averages 11.2 PPR points over 6 games (recent-weighted 11.7) and has played as the team's RB1.
- The Chargers have allowed 18.0 points to RB1s over 7 games (+12% vs league). The model applies 70% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a +8% adjustment.
- Last season's average (12.2) is blended in at 25% weight because this season's sample is small.
- Injury report: IR. The projection assumes the player plays.
- Projection: 12.8 points.
- For reference, a typical weekly starter-level RB scores about 13.1 and a top-tier one about 20.9.

Prediction & chance to scoreRJ Harvey vs the Chargers
Prediction for RJ Harvey
Nobody knows which slot RJ Harvey will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Chargers.
I predict about 12.8 points for RJ Harvey if playing as a RB1. RJ Harvey has averaged 11.2 over 6 games, and the Chargers have given up 18.0 to RB1s (+12% vs the league average of 16.1).
How this projection is built
1. The player. RJ Harvey scored: Wk 1 8.1, Wk 3 10.7, Wk 4 19.3, Wk 5 0.7, Wk 6 14.6, Wk 7 14.0. Average 11.2; weighted toward recent games it is 11.8.
2. The defense. Over 7 games, the Chargers allowed 18.0 points to their opponent's RB1. The league average for that slot is 16.1, so that is +12%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 7 defensive games, only 70% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a +8% adjustment (x1.08).
4. Result. 11.8 x 1.08 = 12.8. 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 RJ Harvey is to reach it as a RB1.
Why this percentage?
The projection (12.8) 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 6.4 points, leaning on RJ Harvey'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 13.
With only 6 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%.
