Should I start Ollie Gordon or Isaac TeSlaa in Week 7?

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Ollie Gordon, and the board ranks him 139th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Isaac TeSlaa, and the board ranks him 140th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Ollie Gordon is 2.5 PPR points a game off 1 market across 5 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.

The market-based projection for Isaac TeSlaa is 1.4 PPR points a game off 1 market across 6 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.

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