Projected points count his chance of playing. The floor and the ceiling are for a game he plays: he should score below the floor about one week in ten, and above the ceiling about one week in ten. Tested on single games in the 2024 and 2025 seasons. The line between starting and sitting is the TE14 in a twelve-team league; deeper leagues start more.
