Should I start Theo Wease Jr. or Cyrus Allen in Week 8?

Updated Oct 27, 6:31 PM ET.

Start Theo Wease Jr.: 56 percent of the snaps and 7 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Cyrus Allen's 17 percent of the snaps and 6 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 size293 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 Theo Wease Jr., and the board ranks him 188th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Cyrus Allen, and the board ranks him 206th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market has Theo Wease Jr. at 0.5 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.

No season market is posted for Cyrus Allen, so the only market valuing him on this page is the draft room.
