Ty Johnson or Alvin Kamara: who should I start in Week 6?

Where the draft room stands

Drafters have formed no consensus on Ty Johnson: he carries no ADP, and the board ranks him 49th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Our board does not carry Alvin Kamara at all right now: the consensus draft sample has dropped him and there is no player market on him this week, so he has no rank, no tier and no ADP here.

What the player markets price

The market has Ty Johnson at 8.5 PPR points a game off 3 markets across 13 market sources. That is 60 percent of what a running back's price needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

No season market is posted for Alvin Kamara, so the only market valuing him on this page is the draft room.
