Should I start Jordan Mason or Kyle Williams in Week 7?
Updated Oct 20, 11:36 PM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Start Jordan Mason: 45 percent of the snaps and 48 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Kyle Williams's 32 percent of the snaps and 6 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 size301 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 Jordan Mason, and the board ranks him 94th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Kyle Williams, and the board ranks him 96th overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
The market-based projection for Jordan Mason is 3.2 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
Kyle Williams's market-based projection is 4.3 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 13 market sources. That is the 94th highest figure of the 196 players with a market-based projection.
Jordan Mason's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
