Should I start Tommy Tremble or Isaac TeSlaa in Week 8?

Updated Oct 28, 6:16 PM ET.

Start Tommy Tremble: his market-based projection is 0.7 points a game ahead of Isaac TeSlaa's this season.

Should I drop Tommy Tremble for Isaac TeSlaa?

Not on these numbers alone. Tommy Tremble projects 51 market-implied PPR points from Week 8 through Week 17 (5.1 a game over 10 games) and Isaac TeSlaa 52 (5.2 a game over 10 games), too close to separate, so the roster spot decides it.

Byes and availability

Isaac TeSlaa is off in Week 6. No bye is listed for Tommy Tremble.

What would change the answer

0.7 points a game is the entire case. The market restates it every week, and a line that moves moves the order with it.

The draft market is the half that is missing: when live drafts hold these two again they can order them differently from the projection, and this page will follow the drafts rather than the market-based projection when they do.
