  • : 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 Pierre Strong Jr.'s 23 percent of the snaps and 12 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 size310 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 Pierre Strong Jr., and the board ranks him 122nd overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Denzel Boston, and the board ranks him 123rd overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market has Pierre Strong Jr. at 3.9 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 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.

Pierre Strong Jr.'s projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.

This season through Week 9

Through Week 9, Pierre Strong Jr. has been on the field for 23 percent of GB snaps, taken 12 percent of the carries, drawn 2 percent of the targets and had 6 percent of the red zone chances.

Their last full seasons

The season feed carries no line for Pierre Strong Jr. in the last completed season.

Denzel Boston is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.

Side by side

Pierre Strong Jr. is a running back and Denzel Boston 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.
