Should I start Jeremy McNichols or Roschon Johnson in Week 8?
Updated Oct 28, 4:26 PM ET. Week 9 answers post Tuesday.
Start Roschon Johnson: 32 percent of the snaps and 24 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Jeremy McNichols's 18 percent of the snaps and 31 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 size303 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 Jeremy McNichols, and the board ranks him 64th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Our board does not carry Roschon Johnson at all right now: live drafts have stopped taking him and there is no player market on him this week, so he has no rank, no tier and no ADP here.
The market-based projections
The market-based projection for Jeremy McNichols is 6.8 PPR points a game off 2 markets across 6 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.
No season market is posted for Roschon Johnson, so the only market valuing him on this page is the draft room.
