Should I start Kyren Williams or Jordan Love in Week 8?

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Kyren Williams, and the board ranks him 80th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Jordan Love, and the board ranks him 81st overall on the rest of his evidence.

In 2QB drafts he goes at ADP 21.

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Kyren Williams is 4.1 PPR points a game off 1 market across 8 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.

Jordan Love's market-based projection is 16.8 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 14 market sources. That is the 14th highest figure of the 200 players with a market-based projection.

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

Byes and availability

Both are off in Week 11, so a roster holding the pair has that one week to cover twice.

What would change the answer

Kyren Williams has only a partial projection, so the market half of this page is whole for only one of them.
