He’s scored 14 & 17 points with Johnson playing a full compliment of snaps, but 10 points in PPR is unrealistic without a DJ injury? Ooooooookay.
I think the issue is with your use of the word floor.
"Floor" usually doesn't mean "a realistic projection". It usually means "the least this player might get if they have a bad game".
If you said "i think he'll get ten points, maybe more", that's fine. And then saying you'd come back and admit it if you're wrong would be admirable.
But when you say you think his floor is ten points, and you'll come back and admit it if you're wrong, that's misusing the word. You're acknowledging that he might get fewer than ten points, but you think he'll get more.
As an example this week i think gore has a floor of about 5-6 points in non ppr. I expect him to get enough volume that he's pretty much a lock for 50 plus yards. And i think his ceiling is closer to 30. I can see him getting 120 yards and 3 touchdowns against his former team that also happens to be the worst run defense in the league. I don't usually think gore's ceiling is that high, but this week i do.
I think Singletary could get almost completely shut out. They'll probably give him a bunch of touches, especially if it's a blow out, but i can imagine game flows where they just don't use him and feed gore. But i can also see game flows where Singletary breaks a couple good runs and ends up with a couple touchdowns. So call it 30 fantasy points.
I have gore projected for slightly more - about 11 points in standard feels right to me - while i have Singletary at around eight. I also think gore has a higher floor and about the same ceiling this week. And I'd definitely start gore over Singletary in the league where i own both because i happen to have started butker against the mahomes owner this week, so I'm just looking for base hits instead of home runs.
But most weeks I'd expect gore to have the higher floor, while Singletary has the higher ceiling, so i might start Singletary over gore depending on the rest of my lineup.
I don't see any reason to believe that Edmunds floor is double digit points. I think they're using him more, but they've used him more in games where David Johnson also got a ton of work. Some weeks it might be all David Johnson. Or weeks where neither does well. Or weeks where it's all Kyler Murray.
Ask a 2018 Tarik Cohen owner about his floor. Even with a near perfect storm of him playing well, getting volume including touchdown opportunities, and his backfield competition under performing, he still had 4 point weeks. Ask an Aaron Jones owner what his floor is, and he's not even the 1b. Or James white. Or miles Sanders. Etc. Etc. None of these guys have a double digit floor each week.
So it's really a semantic argument, but an important one to a lot of people.
I agree with most of the rest of what you're saying, and i enjoy your enthusiasm in the shark pool these days. Keep up the good work and don't get upset about the disagreement. I read both sides and understand how each of you could be frustrated because you're talking around each other's points a little. We're all guilty of that sometimes. Good luck tomorrow.
