Should I start Kyren Williams or Savion Williams in Week 7?

Updated Oct 20, 3:26 PM ET.

Start Kyren Williams: 77 percent of the snaps and 63 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Savion Williams's 53 percent of the snaps and 10 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 gap

  • Board size299 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 Kyren Williams, and the board ranks him 54th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Savion Williams, and the board ranks him 55th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Kyren Williams is 6.0 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.

Savion Williams's market-based projection is 5.5 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 11 market sources. That is the 56th highest figure of the 184 players with a market-based projection.

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