Start Denzel Boston: 88 percent of the snaps and 25 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Sione Vaki's 24 percent of the snaps and 16 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.
Should I drop Sione Vaki for Denzel Boston?
Yes, on the rest of the season. Denzel Boston projects 72 market-implied PPR points from Week 10 through Week 17 (10.3 a game over 7 games), Sione Vaki 16 (2.0 a game over 8 games).

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 Denzel Boston, and the board ranks him 121st overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Sione Vaki, and the board ranks him 122nd 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 Sione Vaki is 3.8 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.
Denzel Boston's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.

He carried 1 time for 4 yards and 0 touchdowns, and caught 0 of 0 targets for 0 more yards.

He was on the field for 0 percent of the snaps in the games he played.
