Should I start Dak Prescott or Corey Kiner in Week 10?

Live drafts hold no current pick on Corey Kiner, and the board ranks him 26th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

Dak Prescott's market-based projection is 17.7 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 9 market sources. That is the 10th highest figure of the 210 players with a market-based projection.

The market-based projection for Corey Kiner is 12.7 PPR points a game off 2 markets across 13 market sources. That is 70 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

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