Start Aaron Rodgers or Matthew Stafford? Week 10

Updated Nov 10, 10:11 AM ET.

Start Matthew Stafford over Aaron Rodgers

Stafford projects lower, 15.9 to 16.5, and still gets the call because it also weighs where drafters take each player: ADP 75 for Stafford, 231 for Rodgers.

Our Week 10 call

Start Matthew Stafford over Aaron Rodgers in Week 10.

Market-based projections have Matthew Stafford at 15.9 points and Aaron Rodgers at 16.5, a gap of 0.6. That is inside the noise of a single catch, so treat it as close to a coin flip. Matthew Stafford still gets the call because it also weighs where drafters take each player, ADP 75 against 231, and that outweighs a gap this size. 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 Matthew Stafford this week yet, so his 15.9 is the average of his market-based projections in Weeks 7, 8 and 9 (16.5, 15.7 and 15.6); the call is rebuilt when his market posts.

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 Matthew Stafford yet. His market-based projections were 16.5, 15.7 and 15.6 points in Weeks 7, 8 and 9, an average of 15.9, which stands in until his Week 10 market posts.

That puts Aaron Rodgers 0.6 points ahead of Matthew Stafford on these projections.
