Should I start Courtland Sutton or Tez Johnson in Week 9?

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Courtland Sutton, and the board ranks him 102nd overall on the rest of his evidence.

Our board does not carry Tez Johnson 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.
