Should I start Brock Purdy or Travis Kelce in Week 10?

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Travis Kelce, and the board ranks him 84th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

Brock Purdy's market-based projection is 19.1 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 9 market sources. That is the 7th highest figure of the 209 players with a market-based projection.

The market-based projection for Travis Kelce is 2.6 PPR points a game off 1 market across 8 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a tight end's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

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