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 veteran starters whose weekly value depends on current target share, matchup, and availability.

Mike Evans: recent role is near baseline, and the matchup is neutral. Terry McLaurin: recent role lowers the estimate, 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.
