Should I start Michael Pittman Jr. or Bo Nix in Week 10?
Updated Nov 10, 10:46 AM ET. Week 11 answers post Tuesday.
Start Bo Nix: 100 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Michael Pittman Jr.'s 78 percent of the snaps and 11 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.

Their Week 10 outlook
The gap
- Board size306 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 Michael Pittman Jr., and the board ranks him 133rd overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Bo Nix, and the board ranks him 259th overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
The market has Michael Pittman Jr. at 1.6 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
No season market is posted for Bo Nix, so the only market valuing him on this page is the draft room.
