Should I start Josh Oliver or Chris Moore in Week 7?
Updated Oct 20, 8:41 AM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Start Josh Oliver: 55 percent of the snaps and 7 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Chris Moore's 47 percent of the snaps and 8 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.

Their Week 7 outlook
The gap
- Board size298 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 Josh Oliver, and the board ranks him 293rd overall on the rest of his evidence.
Our board does not carry Chris Moore 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
No season market is posted for Josh Oliver, so the only market valuing him on this page is the draft room.
No season market is posted for Chris Moore, so the only market valuing him on this page is the draft room.
Neither carries a posted market, so this page rests on the draft room and on what the two have already done.
