The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Kenneth Walker is 6.3 PPR points a game off 1 market across 9 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

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

Side by side

Chig Okonkwo is a tight end and Kenneth Walker a running back, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Chig Okonkwo is off in Week 7 and Kenneth Walker in Week 5, so either can cover the other's bye.

Chig Okonkwo is listed as questionable on the injury report.

What would change the answer

Kenneth Walker has only a partial projection, so the market half of this page is whole for only one of them.
