Should I start Troy Franklin or George Holani in Week 7?
Updated Oct 21, 2:41 PM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Start Troy Franklin: 55 percent of the snaps and 4 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against George Holani's 47 percent of the snaps and 19 percent of the carries. 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.
Should I drop Troy Franklin for George Holani?
Yes, on the rest of the season. George Holani projects 54 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (5.4 a game over 10 games), Troy Franklin 42 (4.2 a game over 10 games).

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 George Holani, and the board ranks him 145th overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
Troy Franklin's market-based projection is 4.0 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 9 market sources. That is the 123rd highest figure of the 207 players with a market-based projection.
The market-based projection for George Holani is 1.1 PPR points a game off 1 market across 11 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.
George Holani's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
