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.
Chuba Hubbard: recent role raises the estimate, 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 8 report. Older designations remain visible in the injury archive but do not reduce this projection.
Week 8 final result
Chuba Hubbard scored more. The pregame lean was wrong.
Chuba Hubbard: 21.4 Half PPR · Derrick Henry: 13.0 Half PPR.
