Should I start Omar Cooper or Kendrick Bourne in Week 7?
Updated Oct 20, 12:36 PM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Start Kendrick Bourne: 56 percent of the snaps and 14 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Omar Cooper's 43 percent of the snaps and 15 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 size299 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 Omar Cooper, and the board ranks him 128th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Kendrick Bourne, and the board ranks him 132nd overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
The market-based projection for Omar Cooper is 1.7 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
The market-based projection for Kendrick Bourne is 1.5 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
Omar Cooper's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
