Should I start Kyle Williams or Woody Marks in Week 7?
Updated Oct 20, 4:16 PM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Start Woody Marks: 70 percent of the snaps and 52 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Kyle Williams's 32 percent of the snaps and 6 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.
Should I drop Kyle Williams for Woody Marks?
Yes, on the rest of the season. Woody Marks projects 76 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (7.6 a game over 10 games), Kyle Williams 32 (3.2 a game over 10 games).

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 Woody Marks, and the board ranks him 68th overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
Kyle Williams's market-based projection is 4.3 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 13 market sources. That is the 68th highest figure of the 184 players with a market-based projection.
The market-based projection for Woody Marks is 4.5 PPR points a game off 1 market across 8 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.
Woody Marks's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
