Start Omar Cooper Jr.: 76 percent of the snaps and 18 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Deebo Samuel Sr.'s 62 percent of the snaps and 11 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 size315 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 Deebo Samuel Sr., and the board ranks him 67th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Omar Cooper Jr., and the board ranks him 174th overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
Deebo Samuel Sr.'s market-based projection is 9.8 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 7 market sources. That is the 77th highest figure of the 214 players with a market-based projection.
The market has Omar Cooper Jr. at 1.9 PPR points a game off 1 market across 6 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
Omar Cooper Jr.'s projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
