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 wide-receiver options in a similar weekly range, compared through targets, snap share, matchup and current availability.
CeeDee Lamb: recent role raises the estimate, and the matchup is neutral. Jaxon Smith-Njigba: recent role is near baseline, 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
CeeDee Lamb scored more. The pregame lean was wrong.
CeeDee Lamb: 32.8 Half PPR · Jaxon Smith-Njigba: 10.1 Half PPR.
