Byes and availability

Both are off in Week 7, so a roster holding the pair has that one week to cover twice.

What would change the answer

2.2 points a game is the entire case. The books restate 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 price, and this page will follow the sample rather than the books when it does.
