Emanuel Wilson
Week 9 vs. ARI · 2026 season
Emanuel Wilson (SEA vs. ARI) grades 91 out of 100 for Week 9 — 15 of 166 scored RBs — on elite role, poor efficiency and a neutral matchup measured against other RBs. That projects to about 14.7 PPR points.
What drives the score
95th percentile among RBs. Recent-weighted usage — targets, carries and snaps.
36th percentile among RBs. PPR points per opportunity, regressed toward the positional mean.
66th percentile among RBs. Opponent points allowed to this position, plus game environment.
Each component is a 0–100 score, shown above alongside where it stands among RBs. The two differ on purpose: component scales are not comparable across positions — a receiver's share of his offense's work is structurally smaller than a starting quarterback's — so the percentile is the fair read, and the raw score is the published input. They combine multiplicatively — Role × Efficiency × Matchup × Availability — into a projected point total, which is then ranked within the position to produce the 0–100 Start Score. A great matchup for a low-usage player is still a bad start; role carries the most weight because usage is the most stable week-to-week predictor.

How this number is calculated
The Start Score estimates Emanuel Wilson's expected PPR output for the upcoming week as Role × Efficiency × Matchup × Availability, then converts that projection to a 0–100 rating by percentile rank within the position. Role is recent-weighted usage over the last five games; efficiency is PPR points per opportunity regressed halfway toward the positional mean; matchup combines opponent points allowed to the position with the game's Vegas implied total; availability is a gate driven by injury designation.
