Our Week 10 call
Start Corey Kiner over Kimani Vidal in Week 10.
Market-based projections have Corey Kiner at 12.7 points and Kimani Vidal at 5.6, a gap of 7.1. 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 Kimani Vidal this week yet, so his 5.6 is the average of his market-based projections in Weeks 8 and 9 (5.8 and 5.3); 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.

Player markets imply 12.7 fantasy points for Corey Kiner, with 70 percent of the markets a RB needs posted.
