Should I start Audric Estime or Roschon Johnson this week? Week 8 Half-PPR (2026)

THE RESEARCH PICK

Start Roschon Johnson

Week 8 · Half-PPR

The available paired forecasts favor Roschon Johnson after combining their estimates. The saved inputs do not isolate a stronger football-specific advantage, so treat this as a narrow research lean.

Workload1.0 FP

Monte Carlo0.9 FP

Middle 80% scoring range: -1.9–4.6 FP

Workload3.4 FP

Monte Carlo4.1 FP

Middle 80% scoring range: 0.9–8.0 FP

His prior three-game scoring average was 10.0 FP. Compared with holding recent form level with the forecast, that scoring history shifts the tree estimate down 1.6 FP. This isolates model sensitivity, not a guaranteed football outcome.
Recent scoring average: 7.1 FP.
The saved workload scenario allocates 1.5 targets and 2.5 carries. These are conditional estimates, not confirmed opportunities.
Return scenarios include Kyle Monangai; their availability can redistribute the workload.
Last 3 recorded games: 7.3 carries per game.

Experimental models are research signals, not a validated tiebreaker yet. Missing saved results stay blank. No simulations or training were run for this request.
