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.
Bucky Irving: recent role lowers the estimate, and the matchup helps. Jeremiyah Love: recent role raises the estimate, and the matchup is neutral.
Availability adjustments apply only when the source contains a Week 5 report. Older designations remain visible in the injury archive but do not reduce this projection.
Week 4 final result
Bucky Irving scored more. The pregame lean was wrong.
Bucky Irving: 6.1 Half PPR · Jeremiyah Love: 6.0 Half PPR.
