Middle 80% scoring range: -0.4–6.2 FP

Recent scoring average: 4.1 FP.
The LV defensive matchup changes the FF estimate up 5%.
The saved workload scenario allocates 0.9 targets and 1.3 carries. These are conditional estimates, not confirmed opportunities.
Return scenarios include Kene Nwangwu, Breece Hall; their availability can redistribute the workload.
Last 3 recorded games: 3.0 carries per game.
