How Tanner Koziol should do vs the PatriotsSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Patriots, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Tanner Koziol has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Patriots 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 Tanner Koziol will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Patriots avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Tanner Koziol's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Tanner Koziol usually produces.
Projected is Tanner Koziol's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Patriots 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8 | IND | 1 | 1 | 8 | 0 | 1.8 |
| Koziol avg | 1.0 | 1.0 | 8.0 | 0.0 | 1.8 | |
| Patriots TE1 avg | 3.5 | 3.0 | 22.5 | 0.0 | 5.3 | |
| Difference | +2.5 | +2.0 | +14.5 | +0.0 | +3.5 | |
Difference is what the defense allows minus what Koziol averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.
