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.
Christian Watson: recent role is near baseline, and the matchup helps. Nico Collins: recent role is near baseline, and the matchup helps.
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
Nico Collins scored more. The pregame lean was wrong.
Christian Watson: 6.2 Half PPR · Nico Collins: 27.3 Half PPR.
