Should I start DeVonta Smith or George Holani in Week 7?

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on George Holani, and the board ranks him 120th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for DeVonta Smith is 2.7 PPR points a game off 1 market across 11 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.

The market-based projection for George Holani is 1.5 PPR points a game off 1 market across 4 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.

DeVonta Smith's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
