Start Johnson or Vaki? The full Week 7 breakdown

Start Roschon Johnson: 28 percent of the snaps and 21 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Sione Vaki's 27 percent of the snaps and 16 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 size311 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 Roschon Johnson, and the board ranks him 135th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Our board does not carry Sione Vaki 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

The market-based projection for Roschon Johnson is 2.2 PPR points a game off 1 market across 13 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.

No season market is posted for Sione Vaki, so the only market valuing him on this page is the draft room.
