Start Caleb Douglas: 80 percent of the snaps and 16 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Tez Johnson's 46 percent of the snaps and 9 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.
Where the draft room stands
Live drafts hold no current pick on Caleb Douglas, and the board ranks him 50th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Our board does not carry Tez Johnson at all right now: live drafts have stopped taking him and there is no player market on him this week, so he has no rank, no tier and no ADP here.
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.
No season market is posted for Tez Johnson, so the only market valuing him on this page is the draft room.
