- : Mack Hollins: IR to Questionable (Calf) (Sleeper injury feed)
Start Joe Burrow: 98 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Mack Hollins's 61 percent of the snaps and 17 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.

The gap
- Board size305 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 Joe Burrow, and the board ranks him 124th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Mack Hollins, and the board ranks him 125th overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
The market-based projection for Joe Burrow is 1.2 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 0 percent of what a quarterback's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
The market-based projection for Mack Hollins is 1.9 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.
Joe Burrow's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
