  • : Alvin Kamara: Listed Questionable (Back) (Sleeper injury feed)

Start Devin Singletary: 35 percent of the snaps and 18 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Alvin Kamara's 31 percent of the snaps and 23 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.

The gap

  • Board size316 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 Alvin Kamara, and the board ranks him 72nd overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Devin Singletary, and the board ranks him 102nd overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

Alvin Kamara's market-based projection is 7.1 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 13 market sources. That is the 107th highest figure of the 215 players with a market-based projection.

The market-based projection for Devin Singletary is 5.2 PPR points a game off 3 markets across 11 market sources. That is 60 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

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