Should I start DeMario Douglas or Travis Kelce in Week 10?

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Travis Kelce, and the board ranks him 84th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for DeMario Douglas is 2.2 PPR points a game off 1 market across 12 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

The market-based projection for Travis Kelce is 2.6 PPR points a game off 1 market across 7 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a tight end's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

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