Start Kiner or Herbert? The full Week 10 breakdown

Start Corey Kiner: 16 percent of the snaps and 29 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Khalil Herbert's 17 percent of the snaps and 9 percent of the carries. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

The gap

  • Board size309 draftable players

Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.

Where the draft room stands

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

Our board does not carry Khalil Herbert 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

The market-based projection for Corey Kiner is 12.6 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.

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