| Step | Points | Running total |
|---|---|---|
| Baseline: His role and efficiency over 4 games, at his usual line | 8.5 | 8.5 |
| Vegas: NO implied 19.8 vs 22.4 in his games | −0.8 | 7.7 |
| Matchup: MIN 7th toughest vs WR: already in the Vegas line | 0.0 | 7.7 |

| Projection | 7.7 | 7.7 |
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 26th of 32 defenses in fantasy points allowed to WRs, where 1st allows the most (context, not in the projection).
- Context: played indoors, so weather is not a factor.

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.
