Start 'em, sit 'em: week 10

Each has his week 10 matchup (what that defense has allowed to his position since week 3), his last three games, his points a week and his rest-of-season value. Below, the most common close calls managers made in week 9 and how they paid off.

Matchup: the PPR points a game his week 10 opponent has allowed to his position since week 3, ranked across the league (1st most is the softest). Last 3 games and points a week: PPR, through week 9. Value: real leagues' rest-of-season Trade Values, the median across leagues, with the top player at 100 (see the rankings). Started: the share of leagues rostering him that started him in week 9, or in his latest game before it (marked with its week) if he didn't play that week. A call: a team with both players at the same position on its roster, both of whom played that week, that started one and benched the other. Leagues: the leagues where a team made that call; a week's list shows calls at least 100 leagues made, with at least 15% going the other way. Calls come from Yahoo, Sleeper and ESPN leagues. Points are PPR.
