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.
James Cook: recent role is near baseline, and the matchup helps. Jaylen Warren: recent role is near baseline, and the matchup helps.
Availability adjustments apply only when the source contains a Week 10 report. Older designations remain visible in the injury archive but do not reduce this projection.
