Our Week 3 call
Start Travis Kelce over DK Metcalf in Week 3.
De-vigged player props project Travis Kelce at 13.2 points and DK Metcalf at 12.6, a gap of 0.6. That is inside the noise of a single catch, so treat it as close to a coin flip. Both numbers are scaled up from a partial market: the books have not posted every stat the position needs, so the rest is estimated from what they have.
