How Fernando Mendoza 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 Fernando Mendoza 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 QB they faced in each game (1), the second best (2), the third best (3), or all of the top three. Nobody knows which slot Fernando Mendoza 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 Fernando Mendoza's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Fernando Mendoza usually produces.
Projected is Fernando Mendoza'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 | Cmp | Att | PaYd | PaTD | INT | Car | RuYd | RuTD | FPts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | NE | 6 | 8 | 48 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 3 | 0 | 2.2 |
| Mendoza avg | 6.0 | 8.0 | 48.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 1.0 | 3.0 | 0.0 | 2.2 | |
| Patriots QB1 avg | 20.3 | 30.8 | 202.3 | 1.3 | 0.8 | 3.0 | 11.8 | 0.3 | 13.8 | |
| Difference | +14.3 | +22.8 | +154.3 | +1.3 | +0.8 | +2.0 | +8.8 | +0.3 | +11.5 | |
Difference is what the defense allows minus what Mendoza averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.
