Our Week 9 call
Start MarShawn Lloyd over Brian Robinson in Week 9.
Market-based projections have MarShawn Lloyd at 6.6 points and Brian Robinson at 7.8, a gap of 1.1. That is inside the noise of a single catch, so treat it as close to a coin flip. MarShawn Lloyd still gets the call because it also weighs where drafters take each player, ADP 125 against 210, and that outweighs a gap this size. 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. No player market is posted for Brian Robinson this week yet, so his 7.8 is the average of his market-based projections in Weeks 6 and 7 (8.4 and 7.1); the call is rebuilt when his market posts.
