Why these numbers
  • Statistics: Last 16 games. Schedule-adjusted: the defenses he faced allowed 4% more than average, so his raw 42.8 counts as 41.0. Recent form and longer average predict about equally, so standard weighting.
  • Matchup: SEA allows 14% less to tight ends than the league average, over 9 games (weighted for sample size).
  • Weather: Indoor game: no weather effect.
  • Coach / team: Kubiak's offense vs Macdonald's defense: no meetings since 2018. Scheme: West Coast (Shanahan tree) offenses vs Multiple / disguise defenses, 238 games since 2018, 1% above expectation.
  • Rest / bye: Not coming off a bye.
  • Game time: This game is in the late window. In his 19 games in that window (of his last 33), he was 25% above his usual, schedule-adjusted. Weighted for sample size.
  • Injuries / lineup: Quarterback: Kirk Cousins is not expected to play (no longer on the roster) (quarterback gap: Kirk Cousins 7.3 yards per attempt vs Fernando Mendoza 6.3, last three seasons, weighted for sample size; his own games: −28% in 8 without vs 25 with; already the case in 2 of his last 16 games). Effect −20%. Top targets: back to full strength, after being short in 4 of his last 16 games (league-wide +16% in 4154 games; his own games: +101% in 6 without vs 27 with). Effect −13%. Offensive line: back to full strength, after being short in 10 of his last 16 games (league-wide −1% in 1851 games). Effect +1%. SEA secondary: back to full strength, after being short in 8 of his last 16 games (league-wide −1% in 1959 games). Effect +0%.

Why these numbers
  • Statistics: Last 16 games. Schedule-adjusted: the defenses he faced allowed 15% more than average, so his raw 0.06 counts as 0.05. Steady: his longer average has predicted his next game better than his last few games, so all 16 count nearly equally.

  • Weather: Indoor game: no weather effect.
  • Coach / team: Kubiak's offense vs Macdonald's defense: no meetings since 2018. Scheme: West Coast (Shanahan tree) offenses vs Multiple / disguise defenses, 238 games since 2018, 1% below expectation.
