Should I start Savion Williams or Joe Burrow in Week 7?
Updated Oct 20, 4:26 PM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Start Joe Burrow: 100 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Savion Williams's 53 percent of the snaps and 10 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 size299 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 Savion Williams, and the board ranks him 57th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Joe Burrow, and the board ranks him 58th overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
Savion Williams's market-based projection is 5.4 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 11 market sources. That is the 57th highest figure of the 184 players with a market-based projection.
The market-based projection for Joe Burrow is 18.5 PPR points a game off 3 markets across 5 market sources. That is 70 percent of what a quarterback'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.
