🎓 The coach's read
Projections are 0.8 apart — too close to call on projection alone. Kimani Vidal has the higher floor (1) — the safer start if you are favoured. Kimani Vidal has the higher ceiling (14.6) — the play if you need points. Justice Hill is boom-or-bust — about 13% more volatile week to week than a typical RB projected here — wider range in both directions. Justice Hill faces BUF, 3rd most generous to RBs. Kimani Vidal faces LAR, 22nd most generous to RBs. 🔔 Ping me if Justice Hill or Kimani Vidal is ruled out
