Our Week 9 call

Start Blake Corum over MarShawn Lloyd in Week 9.

Market-based projections have Blake Corum at 13.4 points and MarShawn Lloyd at 6.6, a gap of 6.8. Blake Corum'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 MarShawn Lloyd this week yet, so his 6.6 is the average of his market-based projections in Weeks 6, 7 and 8 (11.4, 3.5 and 4.9); the call is rebuilt when his market posts. Drafters take Blake Corum at ADP 128 and MarShawn Lloyd at 125. Market coverage on Blake Corum is 70 percent of what his position needs, so the market side of this carries proportionally less weight.
