How Luther Burden III should do vs the SeahawksSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Seahawks, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Luther Burden III has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Seahawks 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 Luther Burden III will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Seahawks avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Luther Burden III's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Luther Burden III usually produces.
Projected is Luther Burden III's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Seahawks 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 III 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 scoreLuther Burden III vs the Seahawks
Prediction for Luther Burden III
Nobody knows which slot Luther Burden III will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Seahawks.
I predict about 10.5 points for Luther Burden III if playing as a WR2. Luther Burden III has averaged 13.9 over 7 games, and the Seahawks have given up 5.5 to WR2s (-36% vs the league average of 8.7).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Luther Burden III scored: Wk 1 9.5, Wk 2 6.2, Wk 3 19.8, Wk 4 11.4, Wk 5 8.9, Wk 6 17.5, Wk 7 23.7. Average 13.9; weighted toward recent games it is 14.1.
2. The defense. Over 7 games, the Seahawks allowed 5.5 points to their opponent's WR2. The league average for that slot is 8.7, so that is -36%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 7 defensive games, only 70% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -25% adjustment (x0.75).
4. Result. 14.1 x 0.75 = 10.5. 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 Luther Burden III is to reach it as a WR2.
Why this percentage?
The projection (10.5) 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 6.5 points, leaning on Luther Burden III'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 11.
With only 7 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%.
InsightsPlain-English takeaways from the table
