Should I start RJ Harvey or Xavier Worthy in Week 7?

Updated Oct 20, 1:26 PM ET.

Start Xavier Worthy: 80 percent of the snaps and 20 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 Xavier Worthy?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Xavier Worthy projects 107 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (9.7 a game over 11 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 Xavier Worthy is 2.2 PPR points a game off 1 market across 11 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.
