Should I start Emanuel Wilson or Aaron Rodgers in Week 7?

Updated Oct 21, 4:46 PM ET.

Start Aaron Rodgers: 99 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Emanuel Wilson's 48 percent of the snaps and 66 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 Emanuel Wilson for Aaron Rodgers?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Aaron Rodgers projects 145 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (14.5 a game over 10 games), Emanuel Wilson 127 (12.7 a game over 10 games).

The gap

  • Board size311 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 Emanuel Wilson, and the board ranks him 116th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Aaron Rodgers, and the board ranks him 117th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Emanuel Wilson is 3.2 PPR points a game off 1 market across 13 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 Rodgers's market-based projection is 15.4 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 14 market sources. That is the 40th highest figure of the 210 players with a market-based projection.

Emanuel Wilson's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
