Should I start Amon-Ra St. Brown or Efton Chism in Week 7?
Updated Oct 20, 6:11 AM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Start Amon-Ra St. Brown: 86 percent of the snaps and 27 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Efton Chism's 50 percent of the snaps and 12 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.

The market-based projections
The market has Amon-Ra St. Brown at 4.7 PPR points a game off 1 market across 7 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.
Efton Chism's market-based projection is 4.6 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 13 market sources. That is the 45th highest figure of the 160 players with a market-based projection.
Amon-Ra St. Brown's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
