Start Kyle Monangai: 41 percent of the snaps and 43 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Jeremy McNichols's 19 percent of the snaps and 24 percent of the carries.

The market-based projections
No season market is posted for Jeremy McNichols, so the only market valuing him on this page is the draft room.
The market-based projection for Kyle Monangai is 4.6 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.
