- : Aaron Jones Sr.: Listed Questionable (Undisclosed) (Sleeper injury feed)
Start Tyler Huntley: 100 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Aaron Jones Sr.'s 25 percent of the snaps and 30 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.

The market-based projections
The market-based projection for Tyler Huntley is 1.7 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 0 percent of what a quarterback's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
The market has Aaron Jones Sr. at 3.2 PPR points a game off 1 market across 5 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.
