Should I start Jameis Winston or Jalen Coker in Week 7?

Updated Oct 20, 1:26 PM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.

Start Jameis Winston: 85 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Jalen Coker's 62 percent of the snaps and 24 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.

Should I drop Jalen Coker for Jameis Winston?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Jameis Winston projects 138 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (13.8 a game over 10 games), Jalen Coker 131 (11.9 a game over 11 games).

The gap

Board size299 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 Jameis Winston, and the board ranks him 107th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Jalen Coker, and the board ranks him 108th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

No season market is posted for Jameis Winston, so the only market valuing him on this page is the draft room.

The market-based projection for Jalen Coker is 2.5 PPR points a game off 1 market across 8 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.
