Should I start Wan'Dale Robinson or Jeremy McNichols in Week 8?

Updated Oct 28, 6:21 PM ET.

Start Wan'Dale Robinson: 65 percent of the snaps and 23 percent of the targets 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 Wan'Dale Robinson, and the board ranks him 68th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Jeremy McNichols, and the board ranks him 69th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

Wan'Dale Robinson's market-based projection is 9.8 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 11 market sources. That is the 85th highest figure of the 207 players with a market-based projection.

The market-based projection for Jeremy McNichols is 6.7 PPR points a game off 2 markets across 7 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.

Jeremy McNichols's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
