🎓 The coach's read
Projections are 0.6 apart — too close to call on projection alone.
Tyler Loop has the higher floor (3.1) — the safer start if you are favoured.
Ryan Fitzgerald has the higher ceiling (13.6) — the play if you need points.
Ryan Fitzgerald is boom-or-bust — about 13% more volatile week to week than a typical K projected here — wider range in both directions.
Tyler Loop is steady — about 13% less volatile week to week than a typical K projected here — higher floor, lower ceiling.
Ryan Fitzgerald faces PHI, 23rd most generous to Ks.
Who wins a straight-up trade?
Their trade values are effectively even — a one-for-one is a fair swap on the numbers.
