Should I start Jeremiyah Love or Darren Waller in Week 7?

Live drafts hold no current pick on Darren Waller, and the board ranks him 124th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Jeremiyah Love is 2.5 PPR points a game off 1 market across 9 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.

Darren Waller's market-based projection is 6.3 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 12 market sources. That is the 104th highest figure of the 207 players with a market-based projection.

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

Side by side

Jeremiyah Love is a running back and Darren Waller a tight end, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Jeremiyah Love is off in Week 14 and Darren Waller in Week 5, so either can cover the other's bye.

Jeremiyah Love is listed as questionable on the injury report.

What would change the answer

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