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 QB decision using recorded scoring, recent opportunity, opponent, and current-week availability.

Jared Goff: recent role lowers the estimate, and the matchup helps. Jordan Love: 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

Jordan Love scored more. The pregame lean was wrong.

Jared Goff: 9.0 Half PPR · Jordan Love: 21.5 Half PPR.
