Should I start Omar Cooper or Evan Engram in Week 6?

Both players' season market-based projection, their usage this season and their last full season's numbers, with the draft market's own figures wherever it still has them.

Updated Oct 16, 2:36 PM ET.

Neither is in the consensus draft sample any more, and the market has not posted a whole projection for Evan Engram, so there is no current market order to give between these two. What follows is what each of them has already done.

He caught 50 of 76 targets for 461 yards and 1 touchdown, with 10 red zone targets.

He was on the field for 42 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Side by side

Omar Cooper is a wide receiver and Evan Engram a tight end, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Omar Cooper is off in Week 13 and Evan Engram in Week 10, so either can cover the other's bye.

Omar Cooper is listed as ir on the injury report.

What would change the answer

Evan Engram has no posted market, so one half of the evidence on this page exists for only one of them.
