Our Week 9 call

Start Omarion Hampton over Blake Corum in Week 9.

Market-based projections have Omarion Hampton at 7.2 points and Blake Corum at 9.2, a gap of 2.0. Omarion Hampton still gets the call because it also weighs where drafters take each player, ADP 21 against 128, and that outweighs a gap this size. Omarion Hampton'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 Blake Corum this week yet, so his 9.2 is the average of his market-based projections in Weeks 6, 7 and 8 (9.4, 8.5 and 9.6); the call is rebuilt when his market posts. Market coverage on Omarion Hampton is 70 percent of what his position needs, so the market side of this carries proportionally less weight.
