Should I start Brian Robinson Jr. or Bryce Young in Week 7?

Updated Oct 22, 10:31 AM ET.

Start Bryce Young: 100 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Brian Robinson Jr.'s 27 percent of the snaps and 32 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 size317 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 79th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Bryce Young, and the board ranks him 80th overall on the rest of his evidence.

In 2QB drafts he goes at ADP 40.

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.

Bryce Young's market-based projection is 17.3 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 14 market sources. That is the 17th highest figure of the 216 players with a market-based projection.

Brian Robinson Jr.'s projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
