Should I start Austin Ekeler or Seth McGowan in Week 10?

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Austin Ekeler, and the board ranks him 30th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Our board does not carry Seth McGowan 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 6.5 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 14 market sources. That is the 26th highest figure of the 207 players with a market-based projection.

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

Their 2025 seasons

Seth McGowan is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.
