Should I start Tyler Allgeier or Ollie Gordon in Week 7?
Updated Oct 20, 10:11 AM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Start Ollie Gordon: 71 percent of the snaps and 53 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Tyler Allgeier's 51 percent of the snaps and 37 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 market-based projections

The market-based projection for Ollie Gordon is 2.5 PPR points a game off 1 market across 5 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.
Tyler Allgeier's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
