Should I start Ja'Kobi Lane or Ted Hurst III in Week 8?

Updated Oct 28, 12:36 AM ET.

Start Ja'Kobi Lane: 54 percent of the snaps and 15 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Ted Hurst III's 56 percent of the snaps and 9 percent of the targets. 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 size295 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 Ja'Kobi Lane, and the board ranks him 46th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Ted Hurst III, and the board ranks him 139th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

Ja'Kobi Lane's market-based projection is 6.9 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 8 market sources. That is the 65th highest figure of the 200 players with a market-based projection.

The market-based projection for Ted Hurst III is 1.5 PPR points a game off 1 market across 6 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Ted Hurst III's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
