| Step | Points | Running total |
|---|---|---|
| Baseline: His role and efficiency over 3 games, with his preseason RB48 ADP at 40% weight, at his usual line | 8.4 | 8.4 |
| Vegas: NO implied 19.8 vs 22.6 in his games | −0.7 | 7.7 |
| Matchup: MIN 1st toughest vs RB: already in the Vegas line | 0.0 | 7.7 |
| Availability: Travis Etienne ruled out: his share +13% | +0.6 | 8.3 |
| Projection | 8.3 | 8.3 |
Each step is the change from switching that factor on, in this order, so the steps add up to the projection. The matchup adds nothing with a line: the model's backtest found the line already prices the defense.
- Hurts: NO is implied for 19.8 points, 22nd-highest of 28 teams with a line this week.
- Hurts: MIN ranks 32nd of 32 defenses in fantasy points allowed to RBs, where 1st allows the most (context, not in the projection).
- Context: played indoors, so weather is not a factor.

PPR pts is nflverse's full-PPR total for the game. "Score this game" opens the fantasy point calculator with that exact line loaded, to re-score it in Standard, Half-PPR or your league's settings. A dash means nflverse has no figure for that game yet. "Did not play" means his team played but nflverse has no stat line for him, which is usually an injury or an inactive game day; the injury designation shows only for the week the latest report covers.

Through Week 4, over 4 team games. Team share is his part of every target or carry his team had in that zone; a dash means it had none. Counted from nflverse play-by-play, the same way as the red zone board.
Sources: nflverse player stats, snap counts, play-by-play and the official injury report (CC-BY 4.0). Every figure in the game log, usage and red-zone blocks is a count, or an average of counts, from those files. A projection in the Week card above shows its own inputs and math. Opportunities are his pass attempts, carries and targets, divided by his team's games.
