Should I start Jerry Jeudy or Efton Chism III in Week 8?
Updated Oct 27, 12:21 PM ET. Week 9 answers post Tuesday.
Start Jerry Jeudy: 69 percent of the snaps and 16 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Efton Chism III's 63 percent of the snaps and 3 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 size293 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 Jerry Jeudy, and the board ranks him 167th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Our board does not carry Efton Chism III at all right now: live drafts have stopped taking him and there is no player market on him this week, so he has no rank, no tier and no ADP here.
The market-based projections
The market-based projection for Jerry Jeudy is 1.0 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
No season market is posted for Efton Chism III, so the only market valuing him on this page is the draft room.
