Start Ty Johnson or Kendre Miller? Week 6

Our Week 6 call

Start Ty Johnson over Kendre Miller in Week 6.

Market-based projections have Ty Johnson at 6.8 points and Kendre Miller at 5.7, a gap of 1.1. That is inside the noise of a single catch, so treat it as close to a coin flip. Ty Johnson'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 Kendre Miller this week yet, so his 5.7 is the average of his market-based projections in Weeks 4 and 5 (6.2 and 5.3); the call is rebuilt when his market posts. Market coverage on Ty Johnson is 60 percent of what his position needs, so the market side of this carries proportionally less weight.
