Projection7.37.3

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.

  • Context: MIN is implied for 24.5 points, tied for 11th-highest of 32 teams with a line this week.
  • Helps: MIA ranks 8th of 32 defenses in fantasy points allowed to TEs, where 1st allows the most (context, not in the projection).
  • Context: played indoors, so weather is not a factor.

Through Week 3, over 3 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.
