Should I start Drew Sample or Noah Fant in Week 10?

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Drew Sample, and the board ranks him 81st overall on the rest of his evidence.

Our board does not carry Noah Fant 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.
