Our Week 8 call

Start Tyler Goodson over Isaiah Davis in Week 8.

Market-based projections have Tyler Goodson at 5.0 points and Isaiah Davis at 2.4, a gap of 2.6. Tyler Goodson'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 Isaiah Davis this week yet, so his 2.4 is the average of his market-based projections in Weeks 5 and 6 (2.9 and 1.9); the call is rebuilt when his market posts. Market coverage on Tyler Goodson 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 5.0 fantasy points for Tyler Goodson, with 70 percent of the markets a RB needs posted.

The market-based projection for Tyler Goodson is 20 rushing yards and 0.2 touchdowns (8 and 10 market sources).

No Week 8 player market is posted for Isaiah Davis yet. His market-based projections were 2.9 and 1.9 points in Weeks 5 and 6, an average of 2.4, which stands in until his Week 8 market posts.
