Should I start Zay Flowers or Kyren Williams in Week 10?

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Zay Flowers, and the board ranks him 56th overall on the rest of his evidence.

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

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Zay Flowers is 3.9 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. 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 Kyren Williams is 5.3 PPR points a game off 1 market across 7 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

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