Floor
A lower range estimate based on recent outcome variation around the current projection. It is a downside scenario, not the lowest score a player can record.
Fantasy projection lab
One number is tidy. A range is honest.
Propeller turns current market components and recent performance into an MLB hitter fantasy-point estimate with a floor and ceiling. Use the range to compare uncertainty—not to erase it.
Direct answer
What are Propeller fantasy projections?
Propeller fantasy projections are estimates of an MLB hitter's DraftKings fantasy points. Each projection includes a lower range estimate, a central point estimate, and an upper range estimate. The current public scope is MLB hitters; it is not a lineup optimizer and does not cover pitchers or other sports yet.
Read the range
Three numbers. Three different jobs.
Point projection
The central estimate created from available market components plus recent form for scoring components the market does not cover.
Ceiling
An upper range estimate using the same uncertainty framework. It is an upside scenario, not a promised maximum.
Use cases
Designed for questions projections can actually answer.
Daily fantasy research
Sort current hitters by point estimate, floor, or ceiling. Compare two players on the same scoring basis, then verify the slate and contest rules where you play.
Sit/start comparison
Use range shape as one input when comparing players in the same position or roster context. Propeller does not ingest your league rules or make the decision for you.
Uncertainty check
Two players can have similar point projections but very different ranges. The wider range flags more outcome dispersion; it does not automatically mean “better.”
Method inspection
Review the public methodology, scoring identity, freshness rule, and known limitations before treating the numbers as decision support.

Fantasy projections, without the fog.
What fantasy projections does Propeller offer?
Propeller currently publishes MLB hitter fantasy projections using DraftKings MLB scoring. Each row includes a floor, point projection, and ceiling. Other sports and pitchers are not part of the public launch.
What do floor and ceiling mean?
They are lower and upper range estimates around the point projection. They describe uncertainty and are not guarantees that a player's outcome will remain inside the range.
Are these projections the same as prop picks?
No. Fantasy projections estimate a hitter's total fantasy points under a named scoring system. The MLB picks page researches individual player-stat lines, while the analyzer looks up available prop lines.
Does Propeller build fantasy lineups?
No. The public feature compares projections; it does not optimize lineups, manage exposure, import salaries, or submit contests.
