Should I start Kenny Gainwell or Kyle Juszczyk in Week 7?
Updated Oct 23, 12:16 AM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Start Kyle Juszczyk: 51 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Kenny Gainwell's 30 percent of the snaps and 10 percent of the carries. 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 size323 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 Kenny Gainwell, and the board ranks him 108th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Kyle Juszczyk, and the board ranks him 109th overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
Kenny Gainwell's market-based projection is 6.2 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 12 market sources. That is the 132nd highest figure of the 222 players with a market-based projection.
The market-based projection for Kyle Juszczyk is 6.2 PPR points a game off 3 markets across 13 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.
Kyle Juszczyk's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
