Start Kendre Miller over Najee Harris in Week 7.

Market-based projections have Kendre Miller at 11.4 points and Najee Harris at 4.9, a gap of 6.5. Kendre Miller's number is scaled up from a partial market: not every stat the position needs is posted yet, so the rest is estimated from what is. No player market is posted for Najee Harris this week yet, so his 4.9 is the average of his market-based projections in Weeks 4 and 5 (4.5 and 5.3); the call is rebuilt when his market posts. Market coverage on Kendre Miller is 70 percent of what his position needs, so the market side of this carries proportionally less weight.
