Should I start Brian Robinson Jr. or Bo Nix in Week 7?
Updated Oct 22, 2:41 PM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Start Bo Nix: 100 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Brian Robinson Jr.'s 27 percent of the snaps and 32 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 size317 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 Brian Robinson Jr., and the board ranks him 93rd overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Bo Nix, and the board ranks him 94th overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
The market has Brian Robinson Jr. at 6.8 PPR points a game off 2 markets across 13 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.
Bo Nix's market-based projection is 16.4 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 13 market sources. That is the 26th highest figure of the 216 players with a market-based projection.
Brian Robinson Jr.'s projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
