🎓 The coach's read
Projections are 0.4 apart — too close to call on projection alone.
Ted Hurst III has the higher floor (1.1) — the safer start if you are favoured.
Jahan Dotson has the higher ceiling (12.6) — the play if you need points.
Jahan Dotson is boom-or-bust — about 8% more volatile week to week than a typical WR projected here — wider range in both directions.
Jahan Dotson faces TB, 25th most generous to WRs.
Ted Hurst III faces ATL, 16th 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.
