Should I start Aaron Rodgers or Jalen Coker in Week 7?

Updated Oct 20, 6:26 PM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.

Start Aaron Rodgers: 99 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Jalen Coker's 62 percent of the snaps and 24 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 Jalen Coker 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), Jalen Coker 131 (11.9 a game over 11 games).

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 Jalen Coker, and the board ranks him 116th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

Aaron Rodgers's market-based projection is 15.3 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 13 market sources. That is the 24th highest figure of the 184 players with a market-based projection.

The market-based projection for Jalen Coker is 2.5 PPR points a game off 1 market across 8 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.

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