Our Week 10 call

Start Corey Kiner over Ty Johnson in Week 10.

Market-based projections have Corey Kiner at 12.7 points and Ty Johnson at 5.7, a gap of 7.0. 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 Ty Johnson this week yet, so his 5.7 is the average of his market-based projections in Weeks 8 and 9 (5.1 and 6.3); 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.

What the market projects

Player markets imply 12.7 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 0-1 touchdowns (13 and 13 market sources).

No Week 10 player market is posted for Ty Johnson yet. His market-based projections were 5.1 and 6.3 points in Weeks 8 and 9, an average of 5.7, which stands in until his Week 10 market posts.

That puts Corey Kiner 7.0 points ahead of Ty Johnson on these projections.
