Should I start Kendrick Bourne or Khalil Shakir in Week 6?

Where the draft room stands

Drafters have formed no consensus on Kendrick Bourne: he carries no ADP, and the board ranks him 95th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Drafters have formed no consensus on Khalil Shakir: he carries no ADP, and the board ranks him 186th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

Kendrick Bourne's market-based projection is 8.0 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 13 market sources. That is the 99th highest figure of the 206 players with a market-based projection.

The market-based projection for Khalil Shakir is 2.1 PPR points a game off 1 market across 13 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

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