Should I start Efton Chism III or Drew Lock in Week 10?
Updated Nov 10, 10:56 PM ET. Week 11 answers post Tuesday.
Latest
Start Drew Lock: 97 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Efton Chism III's 67 percent of the snaps and 13 percent of the targets. 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 size310 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 Efton Chism III, and the board ranks him 135th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Drew Lock, and the board ranks him 147th overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
The market-based projection for Efton Chism III is 1.5 PPR points a game off 1 market across 13 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.
Drew Lock's market-based projection is 14.8 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 7 market sources. That is the 32nd highest figure of the 209 players with a market-based projection.
Efton Chism III's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.

Efton Chism III is a wide receiver and Drew Lock a quarterback, 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.
Drew Lock is listed as questionable on the injury report.
