Eli Raridon
TE

- Teammate Hunter Henry (a top target) is questionable.
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 Packers in the 2026 season.
TE1 = the highest-scoring TE against Packers in each game, not a fixed depth-chart spot.

How Eli Raridon should do vs the PackersSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Packers, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Eli Raridon has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Packers 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 Eli Raridon will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Packers avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Eli Raridon's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Eli Raridon usually produces.
Projected is Eli Raridon's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Packers 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 Raridon averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.
Start / Sit · Eli RaridonGood confidence · 4.6 proj pts1/10 start
- Eli Raridon averages 6.0 PPR points over 7 games (recent-weighted 6.1) and has played as the team's TE1.
- The Packers have allowed 6.6 points to TE1s over 8 games (-38% vs league). The model applies 73% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a -27% adjustment.
- Game environment +1%: Vegas total 44.5, implied 23.8 points for NE (league avg 22.6); Favored by 3: leaning run-heavy late; Mild weather (48F, 11 mph wind): no weather adjustment.
- Opposing-defense injuries (+2%): Opposing starter Keisean Nixon (CB) is questionable, which helps the passing game. Opposing starter Zaire Franklin (LB) is questionable, which helps the passing game.
- Teammate injuries (+0%): Teammate Hunter Henry (a top target) is questionable, which can mean extra looks for Raridon.
- Projection: 4.6 points.
- For reference, a typical weekly starter-level TE scores about 13.5 and a top-tier one about 19.5.
- A statistical model from box scores, Vegas lines, weather and injury tags. It cannot see role changes or in-game events.
Prediction & chance to scoreEli Raridon vs the Packers
Prediction for Eli Raridon
Nobody knows which slot Eli Raridon will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Packers.
I predict about 4.4 points for Eli Raridon if playing as a TE1. Eli Raridon has averaged 6.0 over 7 games, and the Packers have given up 6.6 to TE1s (-38% vs the league average of 10.5).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Eli Raridon scored: Wk 1 7.2, Wk 2 4.0, Wk 4 2.2, Wk 5 10.7, Wk 6 2.1, Wk 7 14.6, Wk 8 1.5. Average 6.0; weighted toward recent games it is 6.1.
2. The defense. Over 8 games, the Packers allowed 6.6 points to their opponent's TE1. The league average for that slot is 10.5, so that is -38%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 8 defensive games, only 73% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -27% adjustment (x0.73).
4. Result. 6.1 x 0.73 = 4.4. 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 Eli Raridon is to reach it as a TE1.
Why this percentage?
The projection (4.4) 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 5.0 points, leaning on Eli Raridon'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 4.
With only 7 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
- TE1s have averaged 2.6 receptions, 24.4 receiving yards and 0.3 receiving TDs against the Packers across 8 games.
- The Packers allow 6.6 PPR points to TE1s, -38% versus the league average of 10.5 (ranked 31 of 32, where 1 is most generous). That is a tough matchup.
- Outlier: Week 1, T.J. Hockenson (13.6 pts) sits far above the other games and pulls the averages up. Average with it vs without it: pts 6.6 vs 5.6. The table above keeps the raw averages.
