NFL Week 10 Rest-of-Season Risers and Fallers: Brandon Aiyuk up 204, Michael Wilson down 204
By Verdexed Analytics

The rest-of-season board, rebuilt November 10, against the board of November 3: 28 players up by a tier's worth at the position, 26 down. Rank is the position rank on the rest-of-season board (points a game over the position's replacement starter, times games left, PPR). The reason is what the data says changed: this season's average, a designation, a team.
