Should I start Tommy Tremble or Jacob Saylors in Week 7?

Updated Oct 21, 6:46 AM ET.

Start Tommy Tremble: 56 percent of the snaps and 10 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Jacob Saylors's 3 percent of the snaps and 0 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.

The gap

  • Board size303 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 Tommy Tremble, and the board ranks him 143rd overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Jacob Saylors, and the board ranks him 144th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

Tommy Tremble's market-based projection is 4.8 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 10 market sources. That is the 104th highest figure of the 199 players with a market-based projection.

The market-based projection for Jacob Saylors is 0.2 PPR points a game off 1 market across 12 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.

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