Start Denzel Boston: 88 percent of the snaps and 24 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Treylon Burks's 65 percent of the snaps and 19 percent of the targets.

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 Treylon Burks, and the board ranks him 89th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Denzel Boston, and the board ranks him 168th overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
Treylon Burks's market-based projection is 6.7 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 8 market sources. That is the 97th highest figure of the 219 players with a market-based projection.
The market-based projection for Denzel Boston is 1.8 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.
Denzel Boston's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
