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

Parker Washington: recent role raises the estimate, and the matchup helps. Tee Higgins: recent role lowers the estimate, and the matchup helps.

Availability adjustments apply only when the source contains a Week 8 report. Older designations remain visible in the injury archive but do not reduce this projection.

Week 8 final result

Tee Higgins scored more. The pregame lean was right.

Parker Washington: 3.1 Half PPR · Tee Higgins: 32.5 Half PPR.
