Our Week 7 call

Start Brock Purdy over Jordan Love in Week 7.

Market-based projections have Brock Purdy at 16.9 points and Jordan Love at 18.2, a gap of 1.3. That is inside the noise of a single catch, so treat it as close to a coin flip. Brock Purdy still gets the call because it also weighs where drafters take each player, ADP 86 against 152, and that outweighs a gap this size. No player market is posted for Brock Purdy this week yet, so his 16.9 is the average of his market-based projections in Weeks 4 and 5 (17.6 and 16.2); the call is rebuilt when his market posts.
