- : Denzel Boston: Listed Questionable (Calf) (Sleeper injury feed)
Start Denzel Boston: 88 percent of the snaps and 25 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Kaelon Black's 31 percent of the snaps and 34 percent of the carries. 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 size306 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 Denzel Boston, and the board ranks him 132nd overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Kaelon Black, and the board ranks him 163rd overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
The market-based projection for Denzel Boston is 1.8 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
The market-based projection for Kaelon Black is 2.5 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
Denzel Boston's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.

Their last full seasons
Denzel Boston is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.
Kaelon Black is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.
Side by side
Denzel Boston is a wide receiver and Kaelon Black a running back, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.
Byes and availability
Denzel Boston is off in Week 11 and Kaelon Black in Week 8, so either can cover the other's bye.
