Max Bredeson
RB
Minnesota Vikings
- Quarterback Kyler Murray is questionable. Watch the status.
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 RBs have played against the Saints in the 2026 season.
RB2 = the second-highest-scoring RB against Saints in each game, not a fixed depth-chart spot.

How Max Bredeson should do vs the SaintsSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Saints, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Max Bredeson has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Saints 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 Max Bredeson will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Saints avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Max Bredeson's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Max Bredeson usually produces.
Projected is Max Bredeson's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Saints 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 | +5.8 | +32.3 | +1.0 | +0.0 | +1.0 | +7.0 | +0.0 | +10.9 | |
Difference is what the defense allows minus what Bredeson averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.
