Should I start Austin Ekeler or Khalil Herbert in Week 10?

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Austin Ekeler, and the board ranks him 53rd overall on the rest of his evidence.

Our board does not carry Khalil Herbert at all right now: live drafts have stopped taking him and there is no player market on him this week, so he has no rank, no tier and no ADP here.

The market-based projections

Austin Ekeler's market-based projection is 6.4 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 13 market sources. That is the 50th highest figure of the 210 players with a market-based projection.

No season market is posted for Khalil Herbert, so the only market valuing him on this page is the draft room.
