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.
Chris Olave: recent role lowers the estimate, and the matchup helps. Christian Watson: recent role raises 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
Chris Olave scored more. The pregame lean was wrong.
