Cam Little has the higher ceiling (14.1) — the play if you need points.
Cairo Santos is steady — about 14% less volatile week to week than a typical K projected here — higher floor, lower ceiling.
Cam Little is steady — about 8% less volatile week to week than a typical K projected here — higher floor, lower ceiling.
Cairo Santos faces TB, 3rd most generous to Ks.
