Should I start Bo Nix or Garrett Wilson in Week 8?

Updated Oct 28, 9:21 AM ET.

Start Bo Nix: 100 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Garrett Wilson's 92 percent of the snaps and 23 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.

Should I drop Garrett Wilson for Bo Nix?

Not on these numbers alone. Garrett Wilson projects 139 market-implied PPR points from Week 8 through Week 17 (15.4 a game over 9 games) and Bo Nix 146 (16.2 a game over 9 games), too close to separate, so the roster spot decides it.

The gap

  • Board size298 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 Garrett Wilson, and the board ranks him 103rd overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

Bo Nix's market-based projection is 15.8 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 11 market sources. That is the 21st highest figure of the 203 players with a market-based projection.

The market-based projection for Garrett Wilson is 2.9 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.

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