  • : Travis Kelce: Listed Questionable (Ankle) (Sleeper injury feed)

Start Tyler Huntley: 83 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Travis Kelce's 76 percent of the snaps and 14 percent of the targets. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Travis Kelce, and the board ranks him 92nd overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Tyler Huntley is 1.7 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 0 percent of what a quarterback's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

The market-based projection for Travis Kelce is 2.3 PPR points a game off 1 market across 6 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a tight end's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

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