Start Corey Kiner or Ray Davis? Week 10

Our Week 10 call

Start Corey Kiner over Ray Davis in Week 10.

Market-based projections have Corey Kiner at 12.7 points and Ray Davis at 1.4, a gap of 11.3. 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 Ray Davis this week yet, so his 1.4 is the average of his market-based projections in Weeks 8 and 9 (1.5 and 1.3); 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.
