Should I start Devin Singletary or Patrick Mahomes in Week 7?
Updated Oct 21, 7:41 PM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Start Patrick Mahomes: 100 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Devin Singletary's 35 percent of the snaps and 18 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 size315 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 Devin Singletary, and the board ranks him 96th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Patrick Mahomes, and the board ranks him 97th overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
The market-based projection for Devin Singletary is 5.2 PPR points a game off 3 markets across 11 market sources. That is 60 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
Patrick Mahomes's market-based projection is 16.3 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 14 market sources. That is the 27th highest figure of the 214 players with a market-based projection.
Devin Singletary's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
