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.

D'Andre Swift: recent role raises the estimate, and the matchup is tougher. Josh Jacobs: 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 7 final result

Josh Jacobs scored more. The pregame lean was right.

D'Andre Swift: 17.0 Half PPR · Josh Jacobs: 17.6 Half PPR.
