Why these numbers
  • Statistics: Last 16 games. Schedule-adjusted: the defenses he faced allowed 6% more than average, so his raw 100.4 counts as 94.6. Streaky: his recent games have predicted his next game better than his longer average, so recent games count more.
  • Matchup: MIN allows 10% less to wide receivers than the league average, over 8 games (weighted for sample size).
  • Weather: Forecast at kickoff: 46°F, wind 2 mph, 0% chance of rain or snow, Sunny. Wind (13 mph or more): calmer this week, after wind in 1 of his last 16 games (league-wide −6% in 480 games; his own games: −16% in 3 without vs 21 with). Effect +1%. Cold (32°F or colder): milder this week, after freezing weather in 2 of his last 16 games (league-wide −8% in 144 games; his own games: −28% in 2 without vs 22 with). Effect +2%. Rain and snow are shown but not measured yet.
  • Coach / team: LaFleur's offense vs Flores's defense: 7 meetings since 2018, 2% below what those teams usually produce and allow (weighted for sample size). Scheme: West Coast (Shanahan tree) offenses vs Pressure / blitz-heavy defenses, 278 games since 2018, 2% below expectation (fills the weight the direct meetings do not earn).
  • Rest / bye: Not coming off a bye.
  • Game time: This game is in the early window. In his 7 games in that window (of his last 24), he was 12% below his usual, schedule-adjusted. Weighted for sample size.
  • Injuries / lineup: Quarterback: back to full strength, after being short in 2 of his last 16 games (quarterback gap: Jordan Love 7.7 yards per attempt vs a typical backup 6.3, last three seasons, weighted for sample size; his own games: −70% in 2 without vs 22 with). Effect +4%. Top targets: back to full strength, after being short in 7 of his last 16 games (league-wide +16% in 4154 games; his own games: −53% in 13 without vs 11 with). Effect +14%. Offensive line: Sean Rhyan (Out, ankle) not expected to play (measured per player, weighted for sample size, snap share and how good he has been (Sean Rhyan: his team −15% in 4 games without him vs 23 with); already the case in 11 of his last 16 games). Effect −3%. MIN secondary: back to full strength, after being short in 9 of his last 16 games (league-wide −1% in 1959 games). Effect +0%. Watch: offensive line: Travis Glover (Questionable, knee); MIN secondary: Josh Metellus (Questionable, shoulder).

Why these numbers

  • Weather: Forecast at kickoff: 46°F, wind 2 mph, 0% chance of rain or snow, Sunny. Wind (13 mph or more): calmer this week, after wind in 1 of his last 16 games (league-wide −10% in 480 games; his own games: −70% in 3 without vs 21 with). Effect +2%.
