Should I Start DK Metcalf or Tucker Kraft in Week 7?

DK Metcalf is projected for 9.4 points. Most weeks he lands between 2.9 and 16.7. This week he plays vs CLE; the game total is 39.5 and his team is favored by 3.5. The number is built from live market data across 8 books, with the stats no book prices filled in from his role and Sleeper’s numbers, in half-PPR scoring, and has held steady since the lines opened. How it adds up: 51.4 receiving yards (+5.1), 0.4 touchdowns (+2.3), 3.7 catches (+1.8). Last week (Week 6) he was projected for 7.7 points and scored 14.8.

Tucker Kraft is projected for 9.0 points. Most weeks he lands between 2.7 and 18.1. This week he plays vs CAR; the game total is 48.0 and his team is favored by 3.5. The number is built from live market data across 15 books, with the stats no book prices filled in from his role and Sleeper’s numbers, in half-PPR scoring, and the lines have moved since they opened. How it adds up: 43.5 receiving yards (+4.4), 0.4 touchdowns (+2.4), 4.3 catches (+2.2). Last week (Week 6) he was projected for 8.9 points and scored 6.2.

It is close to a coin flip. He projects for 9.4 points this week against 9.0 for Tucker Kraft. His chance of outscoring Tucker Kraft is 48%. Their ranges overlap — DK Metcalf usually lands between 2.9 and 16.7, Tucker Kraft between 2.7 and 18.1 — so either can win the week.
