Should I start Romeo Doubs or Jaylin Noel in Week 7?
Updated Oct 20, 10:36 AM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Romeo Doubs and Jaylin Noel are too close to call on usage: 52 percent of the snaps and 13 percent of the targets against 52 percent of the snaps and 13 percent of the targets over their last 3 games. 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 market-based projections
No season market is posted for Romeo Doubs, so the only market valuing him on this page is the draft room.
The market-based projection for Jaylin Noel is 1.4 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
