Our Week 10 call

Start Corey Kiner over Alvin Kamara in Week 10.

Market-based projections have Corey Kiner at 13.4 points and Alvin Kamara at 9.6, a gap of 3.8. Corey Kiner'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 Alvin Kamara this week yet, so his 9.6 is the average of his market-based projections in Weeks 7 and 9 (7.1 and 12.1); the call is rebuilt when his market posts. Market coverage on Corey Kiner is 70 percent of what his position needs, so the market side of this carries proportionally less weight.
