🎓 The coach's read
Projections are 0.1 apart — too close to call on projection alone.
Cam Little has the higher floor (4) — the safer start if you are favoured.
Evan McPherson has the higher ceiling (16.9) — the play if you need points.
Cam Little is steady — about 9% less volatile week to week than a typical K projected here — higher floor, lower ceiling.
Evan McPherson is boom-or-bust — about 19% more volatile week to week than a typical K projected here — wider range in both directions.
Cam Little faces IND, 2nd most generous to Ks.
Who wins a straight-up trade?
Their trade values are effectively even — a one-for-one is a fair swap on the numbers.
