Should I start Cam Skattebo or Davante Adams in Week 7?

Updated Oct 20, 10:36 PM ET.

Start Davante Adams: 82 percent of the snaps and 15 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Cam Skattebo's 45 percent of the snaps and 42 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 size301 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 Cam Skattebo, and the board ranks him 106th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Davante Adams, and the board ranks him 107th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Cam Skattebo is 2.3 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 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 Davante Adams is 3.4 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

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