Should I start Evan Engram or MarShawn Lloyd in Week 7?

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Evan Engram, and the board ranks him 122nd overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on MarShawn Lloyd, and the board ranks him 123rd overall on the rest of his evidence.

In 2QB drafts he goes at ADP 48.

The market-based projections

Evan Engram's market-based projection is 6.0 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 8 market sources. That is the 101st highest figure of the 204 players with a market-based projection.

The market-based projection for MarShawn Lloyd is 1.9 PPR points a game off 1 market across 13 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.

MarShawn Lloyd's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.

Side by side

Evan Engram is a tight end and MarShawn Lloyd a running back, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Evan Engram is off in Week 10 and MarShawn Lloyd in Week 11, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

MarShawn Lloyd has only a partial projection, so the market half of this page is whole for only one of them.
