🎓 The coach's read
They carry identical projections — projection alone cannot separate them.
Tre' Harris has the higher floor (2.1) — the safer start if you are favoured.
Chris Bell has the higher ceiling (11.6) — the play if you need points.
Tre' Harris is steady — about 21% less volatile week to week than a typical WR projected here — higher floor, lower ceiling.
Chris Bell faces NE, 14th most generous to WRs.
Tre' Harris faces LAR, 23rd 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.
