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 high-volume backs whose reception scoring and defensive matchup can change the gap.

Omarion Hampton: recent role lowers the estimate, and the matchup is tougher. De'Von Achane: recent role lowers 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.
