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.

Jeremiyah Love: recent role raises the estimate, and the matchup is neutral. Kyren Williams: recent role raises the estimate, and the matchup helps.

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

Kyren Williams scored more. The pregame lean was right.

Jeremiyah Love: 6.0 Half PPR · Kyren Williams: 31.7 Half PPR.
