Should I start Adonai Mitchell or Alvin Kamara in Week 10?

Where the draft room stands

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Adonai Mitchell is 2.1 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

The market-based projection for Alvin Kamara is 3.0 PPR points a game off 1 market across 8 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Adonai Mitchell's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
