Should I start Germie Bernard or Xavier Worthy in Week 7?

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Germie Bernard, and the board ranks him 51st overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Xavier Worthy, and the board ranks him 199th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

Germie Bernard's market-based projection is 12.2 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 13 market sources. That is the 65th highest figure of the 220 players with a market-based projection.

The market-based projection for Xavier Worthy is 2.0 PPR points a game off 1 market across 13 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

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