Should I start Chris Rodriguez Jr. or Khalil Shakir in Week 10?

Updated Nov 10, 2:46 PM ET.

Start Khalil Shakir: 65 percent of the snaps and 19 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Chris Rodriguez Jr.'s 34 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.

The gap

  • Board size307 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 Chris Rodriguez Jr., and the board ranks him 87th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Khalil Shakir, and the board ranks him 95th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market has Chris Rodriguez Jr. at 3.4 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 Khalil Shakir is 2.0 PPR points a game off 1 market across 6 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Chris Rodriguez Jr.'s projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.

Side by side

In 2025 Khalil Shakir scored 10.4 PPR points a game and Chris Rodriguez Jr. 7.1, 3.3 a game between them.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. finished RB51 and Khalil Shakir WR36, which are two different ladders.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. is a running back and Khalil Shakir a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Both are off in Week 7, so a roster holding the pair has that one week to cover twice.

Should I drop Khalil Shakir?
