Should I start Jordan Love or Woody Marks in Week 7?

Updated Oct 21, 8:31 AM ET.

Start Jordan Love: 99 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Woody Marks's 70 percent of the snaps and 52 percent of the carries. 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.

Should I drop Woody Marks for Jordan Love?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Jordan Love projects 161 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (16.1 a game over 10 games), Woody Marks 76 (7.6 a game over 10 games).

The gap

  • Board size304 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

In 2QB drafts he goes at ADP 21.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Woody Marks, and the board ranks him 78th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

Jordan Love's market-based projection is 17.5 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 13 market sources. That is the 18th highest figure of the 200 players with a market-based projection.

The market-based projection for Woody Marks is 4.6 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.

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