Fantasy · Week 9
Start Or Sit
Torn between two players? Pick them and we'll call it: who to start, the chance each outscores the other, and the reasons behind it.
Player A
Type at least two letters of a name.
Player B
Type at least two letters of a name.
Pick two players you're deciding between and we'll tell you who to start, how likely each is to outscore the other, and exactly why. It works across positions too, for flex spots.
Week 9 start/sit calls
Players projected well above or below their usual level this week, from our own projections. Not the obvious names: the calls that are actually close.
Week 9 start/sit: start Joe Burrow, Kenneth Walker III and Chuba Hubbard, and think twice about Quentin Johnston and Justin Herbert.

The chance is a model estimate that treats the two scores as independent. Fantasy scoring is noisy, so even a 70% call loses three times in ten. See how it works. Estimates, not guarantees.
