Should I start MarShawn Lloyd or DeMario Douglas in Week 10?

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on MarShawn Lloyd, and the board ranks him 100th overall on the rest of his evidence.

In 2QB drafts he goes at ADP 48.

Live drafts hold no current pick on DeMario Douglas, and the board ranks him 101st overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for MarShawn Lloyd is 4.3 PPR points a game off 2 markets across 6 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.

The market-based projection for DeMario Douglas is 2.2 PPR points a game off 1 market across 13 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.

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

Side by side

MarShawn Lloyd is a running back and DeMario Douglas 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 11, so a roster holding the pair has that one week to cover twice.

MarShawn Lloyd is listed as out on the injury report.
