Should I start Jameis Winston or Zach Charbonnet in Week 7?
Updated Oct 21, 7:41 PM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Start Jameis Winston: he has been on the field this season, 85 percent of the snaps, and Zach Charbonnet has no snap on record yet. 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 size315 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 123rd overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Zach Charbonnet, and the board ranks him 124th 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 Zach Charbonnet is 3.3 PPR points a game off 1 market across 9 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.
