Start Deshaun Watson: 98 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Kyren Williams's 61 percent of the snaps and 52 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 Deshaun Watson for Kyren Williams?
Yes, on the rest of the season. Kyren Williams projects 113 market-implied PPR points from Week 10 through Week 17 (16.2 a game over 7 games), Deshaun Watson 107 (15.3 a game over 7 games). Deshaun Watson is listed questionable.

The gap
- Board size313 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 Deshaun Watson, and the board ranks him 104th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Kyren Williams, and the board ranks him 105th overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
Deshaun Watson's market-based projection is 15.3 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 7 market sources. That is the 31st highest figure of the 214 players with a market-based projection.
The market-based projection for Kyren Williams is 5.0 PPR points a game off 1 market across 9 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
Kyren Williams's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.

Side by side
Deshaun Watson is a quarterback and Kyren Williams a running back, 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.
Deshaun Watson is listed as questionable on the injury report.
What would change the answer
Kyren Williams has only a partial projection, so the market half of this page is whole for only one of them.
