Should I start Cam Skattebo or Jaylin Noel in Week 7?

Live drafts hold no current pick on Jaylin Noel, and the board ranks him 136th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Cam Skattebo is 2.2 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 Jaylin Noel is 1.4 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.
