Start Xavier Worthy: he has been on the field this season, 80 percent of the snaps, and Zach Charbonnet has no snap on record yet. 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

Xavier Worthy's market-based projection is 11.4 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 12 market sources. That is the 73rd highest figure of the 213 players with a market-based projection.

The market-based projection for Zach Charbonnet is 10.1 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 40 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

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

Xavier Worthy finished WR59 and Zach Charbonnet RB24, which are two different ladders.

Xavier Worthy is a wide receiver and Zach Charbonnet a running back, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Xavier Worthy is off in Week 5 and Zach Charbonnet in Week 11, so either can cover the other's bye.

Zach Charbonnet is listed as out on the injury report.

What would change the answer

Zach Charbonnet has only a partial projection, so the market half of this page is whole for only one of them.
