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 streaming tight-end decision between two players with closely matched targets and early production.
Michael Mayer: recent role lowers the estimate, and the matchup helps. Hunter Henry: recent role is near baseline, and the matchup is tougher.
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
Michael Mayer scored more. The pregame lean was wrong.
Michael Mayer: 7.8 Half PPR · Hunter Henry: 4.5 Half PPR.
