Should I start Kyle Juszczyk or Christian Kirk in Week 7?

Updated Oct 24, 9:21 AM ET.

Start Kyle Juszczyk: he has been on the field this season, 51 percent of the snaps, and Christian Kirk has no snap on record yet. 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 size330 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 Christian Kirk, and the board ranks him 131st overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Kyle Juszczyk is 6.1 PPR points a game off 3 markets across 13 market sources. That is 60 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Christian Kirk's market-based projection is 6.8 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 11 market sources. That is the 116th highest figure of the 206 players with a market-based projection.

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

Side by side

Kyle Juszczyk is a running back and Christian Kirk a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Christian Kirk is listed as ir on the injury report.

What would change the answer

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