Should I start A.J. Brown or Pierre Strong Jr. in Week 10?

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on A.J. Brown, and the board ranks him 124th overall on the rest of his evidence.

In 2QB drafts he goes at ADP 23.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Pierre Strong Jr., and the board ranks him 126th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market has A.J. Brown at 2.9 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

The market has Pierre Strong Jr. at 3.9 PPR points a game off 2 markets across 7 market sources. That is 70 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

A.J. Brown's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.

Side by side

A.J. Brown is a wide receiver and Pierre Strong Jr. a running back, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Both are off in Week 11, so a roster holding the pair has that one week to cover twice.

A.J. Brown is listed as out on the injury report.
