Should I start Bryce Young or Romeo Doubs in Week 7?
Updated Oct 21, 7:46 AM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Start Bryce Young: 100 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Romeo Doubs's 52 percent of the snaps and 13 percent of the targets. 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 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 Bryce Young, and the board ranks him 70th overall on the rest of his evidence.
In 2QB drafts he goes at ADP 40.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Romeo Doubs, and the board ranks him 71st overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
The market-based projection for Bryce Young is 18.1 PPR points a game off 4 markets across 8 market sources. That is 80 percent of what a quarterback's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
No season market is posted for Romeo Doubs, so the only market valuing him on this page is the draft room.
