Should I start Kaleb Johnson or Travis Kelce in Week 10?

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Kaleb Johnson, and the board ranks him 57th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Travis Kelce, and the board ranks him 58th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Kaleb Johnson is 9.1 PPR points a game off 2 markets across 8 market sources. That is 70 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Travis Kelce's market-based projection is 11.5 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 10 market sources. That is the 58th highest figure of the 213 players with a market-based projection.

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

Side by side

Kaleb Johnson finished RB115 and Travis Kelce TE3, which are two different ladders.

Byes and availability

Kaleb Johnson is off in Week 11 and Travis Kelce in Week 5, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

Kaleb Johnson has only a partial projection, so the market half of this page is whole for only one of them.
