Should I start Van Jefferson or Kyren Williams in Week 10?
Updated Nov 10, 10:11 AM ET. Week 11 answers post Tuesday.
Start Kyren Williams: 61 percent of the snaps and 52 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Van Jefferson's 25 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 size306 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 Van Jefferson, and the board ranks him 44th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Kyren Williams, and the board ranks him 45th overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
Van Jefferson's market-based projection is 4.1 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 14 market sources. That is the 48th highest figure of the 207 players with a market-based projection.
The market-based projection for Kyren Williams is 5.4 PPR points a game off 1 market across 6 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.
