Pick the two you are torn between. The gap is our projection’s, and the rows underneath are what produces it. Free for everyone, and also on the open board.
Our projection has Josh Allen ahead by 1.7 Half-PPR points, 22.1 to 20.4.

Components are the projection’s own expected stat line, not last week’s box score. Both numbers assume the player takes the field: the model does not forecast whether he is active, which is why the injury row is there and why a player ruled out carries a status instead of a number.
