It is a coin flip. Emeka Egbuka projects for 11.2 PPR points and Antonio Williams for 11.0, within 0.2 of each other.
Break the tie with the floor if you are favored this week, and with the ceiling if you need a big game to win.
They are projected almost level: 11.2 PPR points for Emeka Egbuka and 11.0 for Antonio Williams.
The sources range from 10.5 to 12.4 for Egbuka and from 9.7 to 12.8 for Williams. Either result is well inside both ranges.

A source with no number for a player is left out of the average rather than counted as a zero.
