Our Week 8 call

Start Jordan Addison over Tre Tucker in Week 8.

Market-based projections have Jordan Addison at 8.8 points and Tre Tucker at 9.1, a gap of 0.3. That is inside the noise of a single catch, so treat it as close to a coin flip. Jordan Addison still gets the call because it also weighs where drafters take each player, ADP 102 against 136, and that outweighs a gap this size. No player market is posted for Tre Tucker this week yet, so his 9.1 is the average of his market-based projections in Weeks 5, 6 and 7 (9.1, 9.1 and 9.2); the call is rebuilt when his market posts.
