- : Brian Robinson Jr.: Listed Questionable (Hamstring) (Sleeper injury feed)
Start Brian Robinson Jr.: 27 percent of the snaps and 32 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Seth McGowan's 26 percent of the snaps and 18 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.

The gap
- Board size315 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 Brian Robinson Jr., and the board ranks him 71st overall on the rest of his evidence.
Our board does not carry Seth McGowan at all right now: live drafts have stopped taking him and there is no player market on him this week, so he has no rank, no tier and no ADP here.
The market-based projections
The market has Brian Robinson Jr. at 6.7 PPR points a game off 2 markets across 13 market sources. That is 70 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
No season market is posted for Seth McGowan, so the only market valuing him on this page is the draft room.
