Start Eli Raridon: 68 percent of the snaps and 14 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Josh Cuevas's 29 percent of the snaps and 11 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 size309 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 Josh Cuevas, and the board ranks him 177th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Eli Raridon, and the board ranks him 184th overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
Josh Cuevas's market-based projection is 2.5 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 13 market sources. That is the 158th highest figure of the 225 players with a market-based projection.
The market-based projection for Eli Raridon is 2.2 PPR points a game off 1 market across 10 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a tight end's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
Eli Raridon's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
