Start Rashod Bateman or Adonai Mitchell? Week 10

Our Week 10 call

Start Rashod Bateman over Adonai Mitchell in Week 10.

Market-based projections have Rashod Bateman at 6.0 points and Adonai Mitchell at 7.4, a gap of 1.4. That is inside the noise of a single catch, so treat it as close to a coin flip. Rashod Bateman still gets the call because it also weighs where drafters take each player, ADP 175 against 195, and that outweighs a gap this size. No player market is posted for Adonai Mitchell this week yet, so his 7.4 is the average of his market-based projections in Weeks 7, 8 and 9 (6.5, 5.4 and 10.2); the call is rebuilt when his market posts.
