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.

Harold Fannin: recent role is near baseline, and the matchup helps. Juwan Johnson: recent role raises the estimate, and the matchup is tougher.

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

Harold Fannin scored more. The pregame lean was right.

Harold Fannin: 10.2 Half PPR · Juwan Johnson: 8.9 Half PPR.
