Should I start Ollie Gordon II or Will Shipley in Week 7?
Updated Oct 21, 11:16 PM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Start Ollie Gordon II: 71 percent of the snaps and 53 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Will Shipley's 32 percent of the snaps and 17 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.

The gap

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 Ollie Gordon II, and the board ranks him 47th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Our board does not carry Will Shipley at all right now: live drafts have stopped taking him and there is no player market on him this week, so he has no rank, no tier and no ADP here.
The market-based projections
Ollie Gordon II's market-based projection is 9.7 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 11 market sources. That is the 86th highest figure of the 214 players with a market-based projection.
No season market is posted for Will Shipley, so the only market valuing him on this page is the draft room.
