Elijah Arroyo
TE
Seattle SeahawksIR
- Quarterback Sam Darnold is out, so a backup is throwing. Arroyo's numbers may take a hit.
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.
This is how TEs have played against the Bears in the 2026 season.
TE1 = the highest-scoring TE against Bears in each game, not a fixed depth-chart spot.

How Elijah Arroyo should do vs the BearsSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Bears, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Elijah Arroyo has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Bears opponents to line them up with: the best TE they faced in each game (1), the second best (2), the third best (3), or all of the top three. Nobody knows which slot Elijah Arroyo will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Bears avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Elijah Arroyo's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Elijah Arroyo usually produces.
Projected is Elijah Arroyo's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Bears 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.
| Wk | Opp | Tgt | Rec | ReYd | ReTD | FPts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | ARI | 1 | 1 | 17 | 0 | 2.7 |
| 5 | SF | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.0 |
| Arroyo avg | 1.0 | 0.5 | 8.5 | 0.0 | 1.4 | |
| Bears TE1 avg | 4.0 | 3.0 | 36.3 | 0.4 | 9.2 | |
| Difference | +3.0 | +2.5 | +27.8 | +0.4 | +7.9 | |
Difference is what the defense allows minus what Arroyo 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 scoreElijah Arroyo vs the Bears
Prediction for Elijah Arroyo
Nobody knows which slot Elijah Arroyo will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Bears.
I predict about 1.8 points for Elijah Arroyo if playing as a TE1. Elijah Arroyo has averaged 1.4 over 2 games, and the Bears have given up 9.2 to TE1s (-12% vs the league average of 10.5).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Elijah Arroyo scored: Wk 2 2.7, Wk 5 0.0. Average 1.4; weighted toward recent games it is 2.0.
2. The defense. Over 7 games, the Bears allowed 9.2 points to their opponent's TE1. The league average for that slot is 10.5, 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 -9% adjustment (x0.91).
4. Result. 2.0 x 0.91 = 1.8. 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 Elijah Arroyo is to reach it as a TE1.
Why this percentage?
The projection (1.8) 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 1.1 points, leaning on Elijah Arroyo's own game-to-game swings once there are several games (and on typical TE 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 2.
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%.
InsightsPlain-English takeaways from the table
