Should I start Tommy Tremble or Rashee Rice in Week 8?

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Tommy Tremble, and the board ranks him 134th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Rashee Rice, and the board ranks him 135th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

Tommy Tremble's market-based projection is 5.4 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 13 market sources. That is the 101st highest figure of the 207 players with a market-based projection.

The market-based projection for Rashee Rice is 2.4 PPR points a game off 1 market across 5 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.

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