Why these numbers
- Statistics: Last 16 games. Schedule-adjusted: the defenses he faced allowed 1% more than average, so his raw 19.5 counts as 19.4. Steady: his longer average has predicted his next game better than his last few games, so all 16 count nearly equally.
- Matchup: LA allows 8% less to tight ends than the league average, over 9 games (weighted for sample size).
- Weather: Forecast at kickoff: 76°F, wind 5 mph, 0% chance of rain or snow, Sunny. No wind of 13 mph or more and no freezing cold, now or in his recent games: no adjustment. Rain and snow are shown but not measured yet.
- Coach / team: LaFleur's offense vs Shula's defense: 1 meeting since 2018, 6% above what those teams usually produce and allow (weighted for sample size). Scheme: West Coast (Shanahan tree) offenses vs Two-high shell (Fangio tree) defenses, 254 games since 2018, 1% above expectation (fills the weight the direct meetings do not earn).
- Rest / bye: Not coming off a bye.
- Game time: This game is in the late window. In his 20 games in that window (of his last 34), he was 19% above his usual, schedule-adjusted. Weighted for sample size.
- Injuries / lineup: Quarterback: Jacoby Brissett is not expected to play (no longer on the roster) (quarterback gap: Jacoby Brissett 6.4 yards per attempt vs a typical backup 6.3, last three seasons, weighted for sample size; his own games: −29% in 6 without vs 28 with; already the case in 1 of his last 16 games). Effect −14%. Top targets: Michael Wilson (on injured reserve) not expected to play (league-wide +16% in 4154 games, scaled for his role: Michael Wilson takes 26% of the team's targets (typical: 22%); already the case in 0 of his last 16 games). Effect +19%. Offensive line: Hjalte Froholdt (Out, concussion), Paris Johnson (on injured reserve) not expected to play (measured per player, weighted for sample size, snap share and how good he has been (Hjalte Froholdt: no games without him to compare, league number used; Paris Johnson: his team −8% in 10 games without him vs 16 with); already the case in 10 of his last 16 games). Effect −3%. LA secondary: Jaylen Watson (on injured reserve) not expected to play (measured per player, weighted for sample size, snap share and how good he has been (Jaylen Watson: his team −15% in 2 games without him vs 7 with, allows 7.1 yards per target (unit starters: 6.8)); already the case in 10 of his last 16 games). Effect −3%. Watch: offensive line: Jayden Williams (Questionable, knee); LA secondary: Kamren Curl (Questionable, toe), Trent McDuffie (Questionable, back).
