Should I start Kyren Williams or Darnell Mooney in Week 10?

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Kyren Williams, and the board ranks him 45th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Darnell Mooney, and the board ranks him 46th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Kyren Williams is 5.4 PPR points a game off 1 market across 6 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Darnell Mooney's market-based projection is 4.0 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 13 market sources. That is the 50th highest figure of the 207 players with a market-based projection.

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