Should I start Tommy Tremble or Cooper Kupp in Week 9?
Updated Nov 4, 1:16 AM ET. Week 10 answers post Tuesday.
Start Cooper Kupp: 77 percent of the snaps and 15 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Tommy Tremble's 60 percent of the snaps and 9 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.
Should I drop Tommy Tremble for Cooper Kupp?
Not on these numbers alone. Tommy Tremble projects 48 market-implied PPR points from Week 9 through Week 17 (5.3 a game over 9 games) and Cooper Kupp 50 (6.2 a game over 8 games), too close to separate, so the roster spot decides it.

The gap

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.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Cooper Kupp, and the board ranks him 143rd overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
Tommy Tremble's market-based projection is 4.3 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 12 market sources. That is the 99th highest figure of the 217 players with a market-based projection.
The market-based projection for Cooper Kupp is 1.9 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
Cooper Kupp's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
