How Mike Washington Jr. 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 Mike Washington Jr. 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 Mike Washington Jr. 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 Mike Washington Jr.'s own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Mike Washington Jr. usually produces.
Projected is Mike Washington Jr.'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 Jr. 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 scoreMike Washington Jr. vs the Chargers
Prediction for Mike Washington Jr.
Nobody knows which slot Mike Washington Jr. 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 5.5 points for Mike Washington Jr. if playing as a RB2. Mike Washington Jr. has averaged 4.7 over 8 games, and the Chargers have given up 5.7 to RB2s (+13% vs the league average of 5.1).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Mike Washington Jr. scored: Wk 1 4.1, Wk 2 0.7, Wk 3 11.4, Wk 4 2.7, Wk 5 2.0, Wk 6 6.0, Wk 7 2.7, Wk 8 8.3. Average 4.7; weighted toward recent games it is 5.1.
2. The defense. Over 7 games, the Chargers allowed 5.7 points to their opponent's RB2. The league average for that slot is 5.1, so that is +13%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 7 defensive games, only 70% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a +9% adjustment (x1.09).
4. Result. 5.1 x 1.09 = 5.5. 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 Mike Washington Jr. is to reach it as a RB2.
Why this percentage?
The projection (5.5) 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 3.6 points, leaning on Mike Washington Jr.'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 6.
With only 8 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%.
