Should I start Savion Williams or Josh Jacobs in Week 7?

Updated Oct 20, 10:41 PM ET.

Start Savion Williams: he has been on the field this season, 53 percent of the snaps, and Josh Jacobs 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 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 Josh Jacobs, and the board ranks him 72nd overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

Savion Williams's market-based projection is 5.7 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 12 market sources. That is the 83rd highest figure of the 196 players with a market-based projection.

The market-based projection for Josh Jacobs is 4.4 PPR points a game off 1 market across 11 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.

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