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

Updated Oct 20, 9:11 PM ET.

Start Garrett Wilson: 96 percent of the snaps and 29 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Aaron Rodgers's 99 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets. 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 Garrett Wilson?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Garrett Wilson projects 161 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (16.1 a game over 10 games), Aaron Rodgers 145 (14.5 a game over 10 games).

The gap

  • Board size299 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 Rodgers, and the board ranks him 111th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Garrett Wilson, 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 13 market sources. That is the 29th highest figure of the 194 players with a market-based projection.

The market-based projection for Garrett Wilson is 2.5 PPR points a game off 1 market across 6 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

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