Should I start Troy Franklin or Makai Lemon in Week 6?
Both players' season market-based projection, their usage this season and their last full season's numbers, with the draft market's own figures wherever it still has them.
Neither is in the consensus draft sample any more, and the market has not posted a whole projection for Troy Franklin, so there is no current market order to give between these two. What follows is what each of them has already done.

This season Makai Lemon holds the bigger target share, 15 percent against 4 percent.
Byes and availability
