Should I start Chris Godwin Jr. or Najee Harris in Week 6?

Both players' season market-based projection, their usage this season and their last full season's numbers, with the draft market's own figures wherever it still has them.

Updated Oct 18, 2:41 PM ET.

Start Chris Godwin Jr.: 79 percent of the snaps and 16 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Najee Harris's 19 percent of the snaps and 26 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.

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.

By format he goes standard: ADP 21; 2QB: ADP 45.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Najee Harris, and the board ranks him 146th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

Chris Godwin Jr.'s market-based projection is 7.1 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 14 market sources. That is the 123rd highest figure of the 210 players with a market-based projection.

The market-based projection for Najee Harris is 6.6 PPR points a game off 4 markets across 14 market sources. That is 90 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

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

Chris Godwin Jr. finished WR78 and Najee Harris RB105, which are two different ladders.

Byes and availability

Chris Godwin Jr. is off in Week 10 and Najee Harris in Week 8, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

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