Should I start MarShawn Lloyd or Kyren Williams in Week 8?

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on MarShawn Lloyd, and the board ranks him 49th overall on the rest of his evidence.

In 2QB drafts he goes at ADP 48.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Kyren Williams, and the board ranks him 50th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

MarShawn Lloyd's market-based projection is 5.4 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 13 market sources. That is the 42nd highest figure of the 198 players with a market-based projection.

The market-based projection for Kyren Williams is 5.3 PPR points a game off 1 market across 7 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.

Kyren Williams's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.

Head to head

This season Kyren Williams holds the bigger snap share, 68 percent against 38 percent.

This season Kyren Williams holds the bigger share of the carries, 54 percent against 39 percent.

Byes and availability

Both are off in Week 11, so a roster holding the pair has that one week to cover twice.

What would change the answer

Kyren Williams has only a partial projection, so the market half of this page is whole for only one of them.
