Should I start Isaac TeSlaa or Chuba Hubbard in Week 7?
Updated Oct 20, 1:26 PM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Start Chuba Hubbard: 87 percent of the snaps and 84 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Isaac TeSlaa's 57 percent of the snaps and 12 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.

The gap
- Board size299 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 Isaac TeSlaa, and the board ranks him 56th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Chuba Hubbard, and the board ranks him 57th overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
Isaac TeSlaa's market-based projection is 5.4 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 12 market sources. That is the 56th highest figure of the 183 players with a market-based projection.
The market-based projection for Chuba Hubbard is 5.6 PPR points a game off 1 market across 8 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
Chuba Hubbard's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
