Should I start Germie Bernard or Tim Patrick in Week 7?

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Germie Bernard, and the board ranks him 20th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Tim Patrick, and the board ranks him 173rd overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

Germie Bernard's market-based projection is 12.0 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 8 market sources. That is the 23rd highest figure of the 181 players with a market-based projection.

The market-based projection for Tim Patrick is 0.7 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.

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