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 custom TE decision using recorded scoring, recent opportunity, opponent, and current-week availability.
George Kittle: recent role raises the estimate, and the matchup is tougher. Isaiah Likely: recent role raises the estimate, and the matchup is neutral.
Availability adjustments apply only when the source contains a Week 7 report. Older designations remain visible in the injury archive but do not reduce this projection.
Week 6 final result
Isaiah Likely scored more. The pregame lean was wrong.
George Kittle: 15.4 Half PPR · Isaiah Likely: 20.9 Half PPR.
