Should I start Josh Cuevas or Noah Fant in Week 9?

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Josh Cuevas, and the board ranks him 196th 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.

The market-based projections

Josh Cuevas's market-based projection is 2.5 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 13 market sources. That is the 145th highest figure of the 220 players with a market-based projection.

No season market is posted for Noah Fant, so the only market valuing him on this page is the draft room.
