Start Matthew Golden or Michael Wilson? Week 6

Updated Oct 18, 7:26 AM ET.

Start Michael Wilson over Matthew Golden

Wilson projects lower, 13.6 to 14.1, and still gets the call because it also weighs where drafters take each player: ADP 77 for Wilson, 108 for Golden.

Our Week 6 call

Start Michael Wilson over Matthew Golden in Week 6.

Michael Wilson still gets the call because it also weighs where drafters take each player, ADP 77 against 108, and that outweighs a gap this size.
