How Carnell Tate should do vs the BengalsSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Bengals, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Carnell Tate has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Bengals 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 Carnell Tate will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Bengals avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Carnell Tate's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Carnell Tate usually produces.
Projected is Carnell Tate's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Bengals 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 | -2.3 | -1.7 | -26.3 | +0.2 | -2.6 | |
Difference is what the defense allows minus what Tate 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 scoreCarnell Tate vs the Bengals
Prediction for Carnell Tate
Nobody knows which slot Carnell Tate will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Bengals.
I predict about 11.4 points for Carnell Tate if playing as a WR2. Carnell Tate has averaged 11.0 over 7 games, and the Bengals have given up 8.5 to WR2s (-2% vs the league average of 8.7).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Carnell Tate scored: Wk 1 7.8, Wk 2 5.7, Wk 3 11.8, Wk 4 21.5, Wk 5 1.6, Wk 6 19.0, Wk 7 9.9. Average 11.0; weighted toward recent games it is 11.6.
2. The defense. Over 6 games, the Bengals allowed 8.5 points to their opponent's WR2. The league average for that slot is 8.7, so that is -2%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 6 defensive games, only 67% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -2% adjustment (x0.98).
4. Result. 11.6 x 0.98 = 11.4. 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 Carnell Tate is to reach it as a WR2.
Why this percentage?
The projection (11.4) 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 7.1 points, leaning on Carnell Tate's own game-to-game swings once there are several games (and on typical WR 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 11.
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%.
