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.
A volatile flex decision that contrasts Moore's touch versatility with Watson's downfield ceiling.
DJ Moore: recent role lowers the estimate, and the matchup is tougher. Christian Watson: recent role is near baseline, and the matchup is neutral.
Availability adjustments apply only when the source contains a Week 9 report. Older designations remain visible in the injury archive but do not reduce this projection.
Week 8 final result
DJ Moore scored more. The pregame lean was wrong.
DJ Moore: 14.6 Half PPR · Christian Watson: 13.3 Half PPR.
