Should I start Jadarian Price or Kyren Williams in Week 8?
Updated Nov 3, 12:21 AM ET. Week 9 answers post Tuesday.
Start Kyren Williams: 66 percent of the snaps and 54 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Jadarian Price's 36 percent of the snaps and 35 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 Jadarian Price for Kyren Williams?
Yes, on the rest of the season. Kyren Williams projects 134 market-implied PPR points from Week 9 through Week 17 (16.8 a game over 8 games), Jadarian Price 50 (6.3 a game over 8 games).

The gap
- Board size297 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 Kyren Williams, and the board ranks him 65th overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
No season market is posted for Jadarian Price, so the only market valuing him on this page is the draft room.
The market-based projection for Kyren Williams is 5.2 PPR points a game off 1 market across 4 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.
