Should I start Dylan Sampson or Khalil Herbert in Week 10?

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Dylan Sampson, and the board ranks him 206th 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 Dylan Sampson is 1.2 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 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.
