Should I start Rachaad White or Chris Rodriguez Jr. in Week 9?
Updated Nov 4, 6:41 PM ET. Week 10 answers post Tuesday.
Start Rachaad White: 59 percent of the snaps and 35 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Chris Rodriguez Jr.'s 22 percent of the snaps and 18 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 size309 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 Rachaad White, and the board ranks him 40th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Chris Rodriguez Jr., and the board ranks him 44th overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
Rachaad White's market-based projection is 12.7 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 13 market sources. That is the 65th highest figure of the 225 players with a market-based projection.
The market has Chris Rodriguez Jr. at 12.4 PPR points a game off 2 markets across 13 market sources. That is 70 percent of what a running back'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.
