Our Week 10 call

Start Corey Kiner over Keaton Mitchell in Week 10.

Market-based projections have Corey Kiner at 13.4 points and Keaton Mitchell at 4.4, a gap of 9.1. Corey Kiner'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 Keaton Mitchell this week yet, so his 4.4 is the average of his market-based projections in Weeks 8 and 9 (4.6 and 4.2); the call is rebuilt when his market posts. Market coverage on Corey Kiner is 70 percent of what his position needs, so the market side of this carries proportionally less weight.

What the market projects

Player markets imply 13.4 fantasy points for Corey Kiner, with 70 percent of the markets a RB needs posted.

The market-based projection for Corey Kiner is 54 rushing yards and 0.6 touchdowns (10 and 10 market sources).

No Week 10 player market is posted for Keaton Mitchell yet. His market-based projections were 4.6 and 4.2 points in Weeks 8 and 9, an average of 4.4, which stands in until his Week 10 market posts.

That puts Corey Kiner 9.1 points ahead of Keaton Mitchell on these projections.
