Should I start Mack Hollins or Geno Smith in Week 10?

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Mack Hollins, and the board ranks him 120th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Geno Smith, and the board ranks him 121st overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Mack Hollins is 1.8 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 Geno Smith is 15.5 PPR points a game off 4 markets across 6 market sources. That is 80 percent of what a quarterback's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

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