Should I start Bryce Young or Tyrone Tracy in Week 7?

Updated Oct 21, 2:41 PM ET.

Start Bryce Young: 100 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Tyrone Tracy's 25 percent of the snaps and 14 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 size309 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 72nd overall on the rest of his evidence.

In 2QB drafts he goes at ADP 40.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Tyrone Tracy, and the board ranks him 73rd overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Bryce Young is 18.2 PPR points a game off 4 markets across 13 market sources. That is 80 percent of what a quarterback's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Tyrone Tracy's market-based projection is 6.2 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 12 market sources. That is the 105th highest figure of the 207 players with a market-based projection.

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

Byes and availability

Bryce Young is off in Week 5 and Tyrone Tracy in Week 8, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer
