Should I start Woody Marks or Jacoby Brissett in Week 7?
Updated Oct 21, 6:26 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 Woody Marks's 70 percent of the snaps and 52 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.
Should I drop Woody Marks for Jacoby Brissett?
Yes, on the rest of the season. Jacoby Brissett projects 155 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (15.5 a game over 10 games), Woody Marks 83 (8.3 a game over 10 games).

The gap
- Board size315 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 Jacoby Brissett, and the board ranks him 109th overall on the rest of his evidence.
In 2QB drafts he goes at ADP 44.
The market-based projections
The market-based projection for Woody Marks is 4.5 PPR points a game off 1 market across 13 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.
Jacoby Brissett's market-based projection is 15.5 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 13 market sources. That is the 40th highest figure of the 214 players with a market-based projection.
Woody Marks's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
