🎓 The coach's read
Projections are 0.2 apart — too close to call on projection alone.
Chris Bell has the higher floor (1.2) — the safer start if you are favoured.
Savion Williams has the higher ceiling (12.6) — the play if you need points.
Savion Williams is boom-or-bust — about 9% more volatile week to week than a typical WR projected here — wider range in both directions.
Chris Bell faces NE, 14th most generous to WRs.
Savion Williams faces CAR, 28th most generous to WRs.
Who wins a straight-up trade?
Their trade values are effectively even — a one-for-one is a fair swap on the numbers.
