Start Khalil Shakir or Ryan Flournoy? Week 10

Our Week 10 call

Start Khalil Shakir over Ryan Flournoy in Week 10.

Market-based projections have Khalil Shakir at 9.5 points and Ryan Flournoy at 10.2, a gap of 0.6. That is inside the noise of a single catch, so treat it as close to a coin flip. Khalil Shakir still gets the call because it also weighs where drafters take each player, ADP 103 against 220, and that outweighs a gap this size. No player market is posted for Ryan Flournoy this week yet, so his 10.2 is the average of his market-based projections in Weeks 7, 8 and 9 (8.3, 9.1 and 13.1); the call is rebuilt when his market posts.
