Should I start Jeremiyah Love or Jake Ferguson in Week 7?

Updated Oct 21, 2:21 PM ET.

Start Jake Ferguson: 68 percent of the snaps and 9 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Jeremiyah Love's 54 percent of the snaps and 66 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 Jake Ferguson for Jeremiyah Love?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Jeremiyah Love projects 107 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (10.7 a game over 10 games), Jake Ferguson 78 (7.8 a game over 10 games). Jeremiyah Love is listed questionable.

The market-based projections

Jake Ferguson's market-based projection is 6.4 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 11 market sources. That is the 101st highest figure of the 207 players with a market-based projection.

Side by side

Jeremiyah Love is a running back and Jake Ferguson a tight end, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Both are off in Week 14, so a roster holding the pair has that one week to cover twice.

Jeremiyah Love is listed as questionable on the injury report.

What would change the answer
