Should I start Brian Robinson or Dak Prescott in Week 7?

Updated Oct 21, 6:46 AM ET.

Start Dak Prescott: 100 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 Dak Prescott?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Dak Prescott projects 182 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (18.2 a game over 10 games), Brian Robinson 43 (4.3 a game over 10 games).

The gap

  • Board size303 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 59th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Dak Prescott, and the board ranks him 61st overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Brian Robinson is 6.6 PPR points a game off 2 markets across 8 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.

The market-based projection for Dak Prescott is 19.1 PPR points a game off 3 markets across 11 market sources. That is 70 percent of what a quarterback's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

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