🎓 The coach's read
Projections are 0.2 apart — too close to call on projection alone.
Jake Bates has the higher floor (3.9) — the safer start if you are favoured.
Cam Little has the higher ceiling (14.1) — the play if you need points.
Cam Little is steady — about 8% less volatile week to week than a typical K projected here — higher floor, lower ceiling.
Jake Bates is steady — about 14% less volatile week to week than a typical K projected here — higher floor, lower ceiling.
Cam Little faces BAL, 11th most generous to Ks.
Who wins a straight-up trade?
