Should I start Aaron Rodgers or Aaron Jones Sr. in Week 7?

Updated Oct 21, 6:21 PM ET.

Start Aaron Rodgers: 99 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Aaron Jones Sr.'s 80 percent of the snaps and 74 percent of the carries. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

Should I drop Aaron Rodgers for Aaron Jones Sr.?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Aaron Jones Sr. projects 168 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (15.3 a game over 11 games), Aaron Rodgers 145 (14.5 a game over 10 games).

The gap

  • Board size314 draftable players

Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Aaron Jones Sr., and the board ranks him 113th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

Aaron Rodgers's market-based projection is 15.4 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 14 market sources. That is the 42nd highest figure of the 213 players with a market-based projection.

The market has Aaron Jones Sr. at 4.2 PPR points a game off 1 market across 9 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Aaron Jones Sr.'s projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
