Should I start Marvin Mims or Travis Kelce in Week 7?

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Marvin Mims is 1.7 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

The market-based projection for Travis Kelce is 2.0 PPR points a game off 1 market across 12 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a tight end's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

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