Should I start Kendre Miller or Deebo Samuel Sr. in Week 6?
Neither man carries a season projection right now, so this is their usage this season and their last full season's numbers, side by side.
Neither is in the consensus draft sample any more, and the market has not posted a whole projection for either of them, so there is no current market order to give between these two. What follows is what each of them has already done.

Drafters have formed no consensus on Deebo Samuel Sr.: he carries no ADP, and the board ranks him 77th overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
The market-based projection for Kendre Miller is 9.4 PPR points a game off 2 markets across 13 market sources. That is 70 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
No season market is posted for Deebo Samuel Sr., so the only market valuing him on this page is the draft room.

Side by side
Kendre Miller is a running back and Deebo Samuel Sr. a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.
Byes and availability
Both are off in Week 8, so a roster holding the pair has that one week to cover twice.
Deebo Samuel Sr. is listed as out on the injury report.
