Should I start Theo Johnson or Harold Fannin Jr. in Week 10?
Updated Nov 10, 4:51 PM ET. Week 11 answers post Tuesday.
Start Harold Fannin Jr.: 84 percent of the snaps and 22 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Theo Johnson's 35 percent of the snaps and 4 percent of the targets. 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.

The market-based projections
Theo Johnson's market-based projection is 2.1 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 13 market sources. That is the 110th highest figure of the 210 players with a market-based projection.
The market has Harold Fannin Jr. at 1.4 PPR points a game off 1 market across 7 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a tight end's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
Harold Fannin Jr.'s projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
