Should I start Jaylen Wright or Marvin Mims Jr. in Week 9?
Updated Nov 4, 7:16 AM ET. Week 10 answers post Tuesday.
Start Marvin Mims Jr.: 28 percent of the snaps and 9 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Jaylen Wright's 13 percent of the snaps and 15 percent of the carries. 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 size306 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 Marvin Mims Jr., and the board ranks him 122nd overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
The market-based projection for Jaylen Wright is 3.0 PPR points a game off 2 markets across 8 market sources. That is 70 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
Marvin Mims Jr.'s market-based projection is 4.2 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 12 market sources. That is the 119th highest figure of the 219 players with a market-based projection.
Jaylen Wright's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
