🎓 The coach's read
Projections are 0.3 apart — too close to call on projection alone.
Tory Horton has the higher floor (1.1) — the safer start if you are favoured.
Tez Johnson has the higher ceiling (8.7) — the play if you need points.
Tory Horton is steady — about 8% less volatile week to week than a typical WR projected here — higher floor, lower ceiling.
Tez Johnson faces ATL, 16th most generous to WRs.
Tory Horton faces CHI, 19th most generous to WRs.
Who wins a straight-up trade?
