🎓 The coach's read

Drew Stevens has the higher floor (4.2) — the safer start if you are favoured.
Jason Myers has the higher ceiling (14.6) — the play if you need points.
Drew Stevens is steady — about 18% less volatile week to week than a typical K projected here — higher floor, lower ceiling.
Drew Stevens faces PHI, 17th most generous to Ks.
Jason Myers faces CHI, 31st most generous to Ks.
Who wins a straight-up trade?
