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.

Their early-season scoring and opportunity are close enough for matchup and usage to decide the lean.

Travis Etienne: recent role lowers the estimate, and the matchup is neutral. Jacory Croskey-Merritt: 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.
