Our Week 7 call

Start Corey Kiner over Tyler Goodson in Week 7.

Market-based projections have Corey Kiner at 3.4 points and Tyler Goodson at 3.1, a gap of 0.4. That is inside the noise of a single catch, so treat it as close to a coin flip. 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 Tyler Goodson this week yet, so his 3.1 is the average of his market-based projections in Weeks 5 and 6 (3.5 and 2.6); 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 3.4 fantasy points for Corey Kiner, with 70 percent of the markets a RB needs posted.

The market-based projection for Corey Kiner is 15 rushing yards and 0.1 touchdowns (6 and 13 market sources).

No Week 7 player market is posted for Tyler Goodson yet. His market-based projections were 3.6 and 2.6 points in Weeks 5 and 6, an average of 3.1, which stands in until his Week 7 market posts.
