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.
Kraft's near-every-down Week 2 role closes the gap on an established premium option.
Tucker Kraft: recent role lowers the estimate, and the matchup is tougher. Sam LaPorta: recent role raises the estimate, and the matchup helps.
Availability adjustments apply only when the source contains a Week 3 report. Older designations remain visible in the injury archive but do not reduce this projection.
