🎓 The coach's read
Projections are 0.1 apart — too close to call on projection alone. Josh Cameron has the higher floor (0.7) — the safer start if you are favoured. Tim Patrick has the higher ceiling (8.7) — the play if you need points. Tim Patrick is boom-or-bust — about 15% more volatile week to week than a typical WR projected here — wider range in both directions. Josh Cameron faces PHI, 9th most generous to WRs. Tim Patrick faces CLE, 5th most generous to WRs. 🔔 Ping me if Josh Cameron or Tim Patrick is ruled out
