Should I start Joe Milton or Tanner McKee in Week 9?
Updated Nov 5, 6:26 AM ET. Week 10 answers post Tuesday.
Start Tanner McKee: he has been on the field this season, 100 percent of the snaps, and Joe Milton has no snap on record yet. 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 size312 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 Milton, and the board ranks him 165th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Tanner McKee, and the board ranks him 167th overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
Joe Milton's market-based projection is 11.6 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 8 market sources. That is the 72nd highest figure of the 227 players with a market-based projection.
The market-based projection for Tanner McKee is 11.3 PPR points a game off 3 markets across 4 market sources. That is 70 percent of what a quarterback's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
Tanner McKee's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
