Our Week 10 call
Start J.J. McCarthy over Bryce Young in Week 10.
Market-based projections have J.J. McCarthy at 16.0 points and Bryce Young at 15.2, a gap of 0.8. That is inside the noise of a single catch, so treat it as close to a coin flip. No player market is posted for Bryce Young this week yet, so his 15.2 is the average of his market-based projections in Weeks 7, 8 and 9 (17.4, 17.0 and 11.3); the call is rebuilt when his market posts.
What the market projects

The market-based projection for J.J. McCarthy is 211 passing yards, 1-2 passing touchdowns, 19 rushing yards and 0.2 rushing touchdowns (13, 14, 12 and 12 market sources).
No Week 10 player market is posted for Bryce Young yet. His market-based projections were 17.4, 17.0 and 11.3 points in Weeks 7, 8 and 9, an average of 15.2, which stands in until his Week 10 market posts.
