Should I start Caleb Douglas or Omar Cooper Jr. in Week 9?

Updated Nov 4, 6:11 AM ET.

Start Caleb Douglas: 80 percent of the snaps and 16 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Omar Cooper Jr.'s 72 percent of the snaps and 8 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 size306 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.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Omar Cooper Jr., and the board ranks him 161st overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

Caleb Douglas's market-based projection is 9.3 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 8 market sources. That is the 70th highest figure of the 219 players with a market-based projection.

The market has Omar Cooper Jr. at 1.3 PPR points a game off 1 market across 2 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

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