Should I start DeVonta Smith or Ollie Gordon in Week 7?

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on DeVonta Smith, and the board ranks him 111th overall on the rest of his evidence.

By format he goes standard: ADP 11; 2QB: ADP 28.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Ollie Gordon, and the board ranks him 112th 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 Ollie Gordon is 2.6 PPR points a game off 1 market across 6 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.
