Should I start Jalen Coker or Ollie Gordon II in Week 10?
Updated Nov 10, 8:51 PM ET. Week 11 answers post Tuesday.
Start Ollie Gordon II: 79 percent of the snaps and 72 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Jalen Coker's 79 percent of the snaps and 14 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 size310 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 Jalen Coker, and the board ranks him 23rd overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Ollie Gordon II, and the board ranks him 152nd overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
Jalen Coker's market-based projection is 11.3 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 8 market sources. That is the 42nd highest figure of the 210 players with a market-based projection.
The market-based projection for Ollie Gordon II is 3.1 PPR points a game off 1 market across 6 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.
Ollie Gordon II's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
