Byes and availability

Brock Bowers is off in Week 13 and Chuba Hubbard in Week 5, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

3.9 points a game is the entire case. The market restates it every week, and a line that moves moves the order with it.

The draft market is the half that is missing: when the consensus sample holds these two again it can order them differently from the projection, and this page will follow the sample rather than the market-based projection when it does.
