Should I start Pierre Strong Jr. or Julius Chestnut in Week 7?
Updated Oct 22, 12:31 AM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Start Pierre Strong Jr.: he has been on the field this season, 49 percent of the snaps, and Julius Chestnut 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

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 Julius Chestnut, and the board ranks him 178th overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
Pierre Strong Jr.'s market-based projection is 4.9 PPR points a game, built from 4 markets across 13 market sources. That is the 130th highest figure of the 215 players with a market-based projection.
The market-based projection for Julius Chestnut is 0.7 PPR points a game off 3 markets across 11 market sources. That is 60 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
Julius Chestnut's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
