Should I start Ollie Gordon or Aaron Rodgers in Week 7?

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.

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Ollie Gordon is 2.7 PPR points a game off 1 market across 4 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 15.2 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 14 market sources. That is the 42nd highest figure of the 200 players with a market-based projection.

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