Should I start Jonah Coleman or Kendre Miller in Week 9?

Where the draft room stands

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Jonah Coleman is 3.5 PPR points a game off 1 market across 13 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

The market-based projection for Kendre Miller is 2.9 PPR points a game off 1 market across 3 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

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