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 viable FLEX options with similar weekly projections, compared through recent opportunity, scoring format, matchup and current availability.
Brock Bowers: recent role is near baseline, and the matchup is neutral. Derrick Henry: recent role lowers the estimate, and the matchup helps.
Availability adjustments apply only when the source contains a Week 7 report. Older designations remain visible in the injury archive but do not reduce this projection.
Week 6 final result
Brock Bowers scored more. The pregame lean was wrong.
Brock Bowers: 9.0 Half PPR · Derrick Henry: 4.5 Half PPR.
