Should I start Sione Vaki or Jerry Jeudy in Week 7?
Updated Oct 21, 9:26 PM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Start Jerry Jeudy: 61 percent of the snaps and 16 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Sione Vaki's 27 percent of the snaps and 16 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 size315 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 Sione Vaki, and the board ranks him 150th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Jerry Jeudy, and the board ranks him 151st overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
The market-based projection for Sione Vaki is 2.5 PPR points a game off 2 markets across 12 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.
Jerry Jeudy's market-based projection is 4.9 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 13 market sources. That is the 130th highest figure of the 214 players with a market-based projection.
Sione Vaki's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
