Should I start Breece Hall or Rashee Rice in Week 9?

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Rashee Rice, and the board ranks him 89th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Breece Hall is 3.7 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

The market-based projection for Rashee Rice is 3.3 PPR points a game off 1 market across 6 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.

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