Should I start Chris Rodriguez Jr. or Trey McBride in Week 10?

Updated Nov 10, 9:16 AM ET.

Start Trey McBride: 91 percent of the snaps and 25 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 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 Trey McBride is 2.4 PPR points a game off 1 market across 6 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a tight end's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
