Should I start Ty Johnson or Romeo Doubs in Week 6?
Updated Oct 18, 3:46 PM ET. Week 7 answers post Tuesday.
Start Romeo Doubs: 73 percent of the snaps and 16 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Ty Johnson's 25 percent of the snaps and 1 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
- Board size329 draftable players
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 Ty Johnson, and the board ranks him 139th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Romeo Doubs, and the board ranks him 140th overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
The market-based projection for Ty Johnson is 7.0 PPR points a game off 3 markets across 13 market sources. That is 60 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
Romeo Doubs's market-based projection is 7.6 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 14 market sources. That is the 103rd highest figure of the 193 players with a market-based projection.
Ty Johnson's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.

Ty Johnson is a running back and Romeo Doubs a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.
Byes and availability
