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.

Davante Adams: recent role raises the estimate, and the matchup is tougher. Michael Wilson: recent role raises the estimate, 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

Michael Wilson scored more. The pregame lean was wrong.

Davante Adams: 5.2 Half PPR · Michael Wilson: 13.0 Half PPR.
