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

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Bo Nix, and the board ranks him 104th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Michael Wilson is 2.9 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.

Bo Nix's market-based projection is 15.7 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 10 market sources. That is the 22nd highest figure of the 200 players with a market-based projection.

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