Our Week 10 call

Start Samaje Perine over Dylan Sampson in Week 10.

Market-based projections have Samaje Perine at 6.6 points and Dylan Sampson at 6.5, a gap of 0.1. That is inside the noise of a single catch, so treat it as close to a coin flip. Samaje Perine'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 Dylan Sampson this week yet, so his 6.5 is the average of his market-based projections in Weeks 7, 8 and 9 (5.9, 6.4 and 7.2); the call is rebuilt when his market posts. Market coverage on Samaje Perine 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 6.6 fantasy points for Samaje Perine, with 70 percent of the markets a RB needs posted.

The market-based projection for Samaje Perine is 23 rushing yards and 0.3 touchdowns (6 and 5 market sources).

No Week 10 player market is posted for Dylan Sampson yet. His market-based projections were 5.9, 6.4 and 7.2 points in Weeks 7, 8 and 9, an average of 6.5, which stands in until his Week 10 market posts.
