Floor and ceiling show the lower and upper ends of the player's recent scoring range. The projection is the middle estimate after current role, matchup, and same-week availability are applied.

Why the model leans this way

Role first. Matchup second. Availability always visible.

Two relevant running-back options in a similar weekly range, compared through touches, receiving work, matchup and current availability.

Blake Corum: recent role raises the estimate, and the matchup helps. Jaylen Warren: recent role is near baseline, and the matchup is neutral.

Availability adjustments apply only when the source contains a Week 9 report. Older designations remain visible in the injury archive but do not reduce this projection.

Week 8 final result

Jaylen Warren scored more. The pregame lean was right.

Blake Corum: 13.3 Half PPR · Jaylen Warren: 20.8 Half PPR.
