Should I start Jeremiyah Love or Jake Ferguson in Week 7?
Updated Oct 21, 2:21 PM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
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.

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.

The market-based projections
The market-based projection for Jeremiyah Love is 2.6 PPR points a game off 1 market across 8 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.
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.
Jeremiyah Love's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.

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
Jeremiyah Love has only a partial projection, so the market half of this page is whole for only one of them.
