Should I start Brian Robinson or Caleb Williams in Week 7?
Updated Oct 21, 12:26 AM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Start Caleb Williams: 96 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Brian Robinson'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.
Should I drop Brian Robinson for Caleb Williams?
Yes, on the rest of the season. Caleb Williams projects 186 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (18.6 a game over 10 games), Brian Robinson 43 (4.3 a game over 10 games).

The gap
- Board size301 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, and the board ranks him 56th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Caleb Williams, and the board ranks him 57th overall on the rest of his evidence.
In 2QB drafts he goes at ADP 9.
The market-based projections
The market-based projection for Brian Robinson is 6.5 PPR points a game off 2 markets across 6 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.
Caleb Williams's market-based projection is 18.8 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 14 market sources. That is the 10th highest figure of the 196 players with a market-based projection.
Brian Robinson's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
