Our Week 10 call

Start Aaron Rodgers over Cam Ward in Week 10.

Market-based projections have Aaron Rodgers at 16.5 points and Cam Ward at 12.0, a gap of 4.5. Aaron Rodgers's number is scaled up from a partial market: not every stat the position needs is posted yet, so the rest is estimated from what is. No player market is posted for Cam Ward this week yet, so his 12.0 is the average of his market-based projections in Weeks 7 and 8 (12.1 and 11.9); the call is rebuilt when his market posts. Drafters take Aaron Rodgers at ADP 231 and Cam Ward at 227.

What the market projects

Player markets imply 16.5 fantasy points for Aaron Rodgers, with 80 percent of the markets a QB needs posted.

The market-based projection for Aaron Rodgers is 238 passing yards, 1-2 passing touchdowns and 0.1 rushing touchdowns (10, 11 and 11 market sources).

No Week 10 player market is posted for Cam Ward yet. His market-based projections were 12.1 and 11.9 points in Weeks 7 and 8, an average of 12.0, which stands in until his Week 10 market posts.

That puts Aaron Rodgers 4.5 points ahead of Cam Ward on these projections.
