Our Week 5 call
Start Ty Johnson over Chris Rodriguez Jr. in Week 5.

Ty Johnson'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. Market coverage on Ty Johnson is 60 percent of what his position needs, so the market side of this carries proportionally less weight.
