  • : Olamide Zaccheaus: Questionable to Out (Shoulder) (Sleeper injury feed)

Start Erick All Jr.: 28 percent of the snaps and 11 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Zachariah Branch's 29 percent of the snaps and 6 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 Erick All Jr., and the board ranks him 174th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Zachariah Branch, and the board ranks him 177th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market has Erick All Jr. at 0.9 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a tight end's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

The market-based projection for Zachariah Branch is 0.8 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.

Erick All Jr.'s projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.

Their last full seasons

The season feed carries no line for Erick All Jr. in the last completed season.

Zachariah Branch is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.

Side by side

Erick All Jr. is a tight end and Zachariah Branch a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Erick All Jr. is off in Week 6 and Zachariah Branch in Week 11, so either can cover the other's bye.

Erick All Jr. is listed as questionable on the injury report.
