Should I start Shawn Bowman or David Martin-Robinson in Week 7?
Updated Oct 22, 1:51 AM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Start David Martin-Robinson: he has been on the field this season, 4 percent of the snaps, and Shawn Bowman has no snap on record yet. 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 size316 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 Shawn Bowman, and the board ranks him 215th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on David Martin-Robinson, and the board ranks him 217th overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
The market-based projection for Shawn Bowman is 0.5 PPR points a game off 2 markets across 7 market sources. That is 70 percent of what a tight end's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
David Martin-Robinson's market-based projection is 0.3 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 12 market sources. That is the 213th highest figure of the 215 players with a market-based projection.
Shawn Bowman's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.

What would change the answer
Shawn Bowman has only a partial projection, so the market half of this page is whole for only one of them.
