Projected by the same share-of-team-projection mechanism as the matchup reports' projected box scores; untracked opponents omitted. Share blend: 8 game(s) of 26-27 weighted 73% against 25-26; returning players held only 19% of 25-26 rushing, 31% of 25-26 receiving -- the departed share is left unassigned rather than handed to the returners (capped at 2x their demonstrated share).
PROJECT STATS — VS. ANY OPPONENTSearch any team to project KYRON DOWNING’s stat line against them (neutral site) — the same share-of-team-projection mechanism as the schedule above.
