Should I start RJ Harvey or Malik Nabers in Week 7?
Updated Oct 20, 7:36 PM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Start Malik Nabers: 85 percent of the snaps and 34 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against RJ Harvey's 41 percent of the snaps and 21 percent of the carries. 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 RJ Harvey for Malik Nabers?
Yes, on the rest of the season. Malik Nabers projects 128 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (12.8 a game over 10 games), RJ Harvey 91 (9.1 a game over 10 games).

The market-based projections
The market-based projection for RJ Harvey is 2.9 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
The market-based projection for Malik Nabers is 2.6 PPR points a game off 1 market across 8 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
RJ Harvey's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
