Should I start Kevin Coleman or Tim Patrick in Week 7?
Updated Oct 20, 4:41 AM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Start Tim Patrick: 93 percent of the snaps and 10 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Kevin Coleman's 60 percent of the snaps and 19 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 market-based projections
The market-based projection for Kevin Coleman is 0.7 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.
