Should I start Jordan Mason or Jacoby Brissett in Week 7?
Updated Oct 21, 2:41 PM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Start Jacoby Brissett: 100 percent of the snaps and 1 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Jordan Mason's 45 percent of the snaps and 48 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 size309 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 Jordan Mason, and the board ranks him 113th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Jacoby Brissett, and the board ranks him 114th overall on the rest of his evidence.
In 2QB drafts he goes at ADP 44.
The market-based projections
The market-based projection for Jordan Mason is 3.2 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
Jacoby Brissett's market-based projection is 15.2 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 11 market sources. That is the 42nd highest figure of the 207 players with a market-based projection.
Jordan Mason's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
