🎓 The coach's read
Projections are 0.6 apart — too close to call on projection alone.
Tez Johnson has the higher floor (0.7) — the safer start if you are favoured.
Tez Johnson has the higher ceiling (9) — the play if you need points.
Tutu Atwell is boom-or-bust — about 15% more volatile week to week than a typical WR projected here — wider range in both directions.
Tez Johnson faces CHI, 13th most generous to WRs.
Tutu Atwell faces WAS, 14th 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.
