Should I start Kenny Gainwell or LeQuint Allen Jr. in Week 7?
Updated Oct 21, 11:16 PM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Start Kenny Gainwell: 30 percent of the snaps and 10 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against LeQuint Allen Jr.'s 15 percent of the snaps and 1 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

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 162nd overall on the rest of his evidence.
Our board does not carry LeQuint Allen Jr. at all right now: live drafts have stopped taking him and there is no player market on him this week, so he has no rank, no tier and no ADP here.
The market-based projections
The market-based projection for Kenny Gainwell is 1.4 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.
No season market is posted for LeQuint Allen Jr., so the only market valuing him on this page is the draft room.
