Should I start Dak Prescott or Tre Tucker in Week 7?

Updated Oct 21, 8:02 AM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.

Start Dak Prescott: 100 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Tre Tucker's 70 percent of the snaps and 16 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 Tre Tucker for Dak Prescott?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Dak Prescott projects 182 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (18.2 a game over 10 games), Tre Tucker 91 (9.1 a game over 10 games).

The gap

Board size303 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 Tre Tucker, and the board ranks him 61st overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Dak Prescott is 19.1 PPR points a game off 3 markets across 11 market sources. That is 70 percent of what a quarterback's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Tre Tucker's market-based projection is 8.9 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 8 market sources. That is the 75th highest figure of the 199 players with a market-based projection.

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

Byes and availability

Dak Prescott is off in Week 14 and Tre Tucker in Week 13, so either can cover the other's bye.
