Should I start Jeremiyah Love or Rashee Rice in Week 7?
Updated Oct 20, 10:31 AM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Start Jeremiyah Love: 54 percent of the snaps and 66 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Rashee Rice's 57 percent of the snaps and 16 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 Jeremiyah Love for Rashee Rice?
Yes, on the rest of the season. Rashee Rice projects 140 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (12.7 a game over 11 games), Jeremiyah Love 120 (12.0 a game over 10 games). Jeremiyah Love is listed out. Rashee Rice is listed out.

The gap

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 Jeremiyah Love, and the board ranks him 104th overall on the rest of his evidence.
By format he goes standard: ADP 10; 2QB: ADP 29.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Rashee Rice, and the board ranks him 105th overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
The market-based projection for Jeremiyah Love is 3.1 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
The market-based projection for Rashee Rice is 2.3 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.
Jeremiyah Love's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
