Should I start Breece Hall or Michael Mayer in Week 7?
Updated Oct 21, 5:26 PM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Start Michael Mayer: 79 percent of the snaps and 16 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Breece Hall's 57 percent of the snaps and 62 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.
Should I drop Breece Hall for Michael Mayer?
Yes, on the rest of the season. Michael Mayer projects 78 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (7.8 a game over 10 games), Breece Hall 45 (4.5 a game over 10 games). Breece Hall is listed questionable.

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.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Michael Mayer, and the board ranks him 105th overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
The market-based projection for Breece Hall is 4.6 PPR points a game off 1 market across 10 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
Michael Mayer's market-based projection is 7.8 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 13 market sources. That is the 102nd highest figure of the 213 players with a market-based projection.
Breece Hall's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
