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