It is a coin flip. Jonah Coleman projects for 9.3 PPR points and Blake Corum for 9.1, within 0.2 of each other.
Break the tie with the floor if you are favored this week, and with the ceiling if you need a big game to win.
They are projected almost level: 9.3 PPR points for Jonah Coleman and 9.1 for Blake Corum.
The sources range from 7.6 to 11.7 for Coleman and from 7.4 to 11.5 for Corum. Either result is well inside both ranges.
Jonah Coleman is the safer start: even the most cautious projection source has Coleman at 7.6 PPR points, against 7.4 for Blake Corum.
Start the higher floor when you are favored and only need to avoid a dud.
Jonah Coleman has the higher ceiling: the most optimistic projection source has Coleman at 11.7 PPR points, against 11.5 for Blake Corum.
Start the higher ceiling when you are the underdog and need points more than safety.
Jonah Coleman plays KC and Blake Corum plays LAC in Week 8.
By fantasy points allowed to each position, Coleman faces the 9th-toughest defense against RBs and Corum faces the 9th-softest defense against RBs, so Blake Corum has the softer matchup.
Each projection already accounts for the opponent, so a soft matchup is a tiebreaker, not a reason to bench the higher projection.
Over his recent games Jonah Coleman has drawn 28% of his team's carries, and Blake Corum 38% of his team's carries.
Blake Corum has the bigger role, and volume is the steadiest thing a projection rests on.
These numbers are in PPR. Full PPR adds a point per catch, so it helps whichever player sees more targets.
Switch between PPR, Half PPR and Standard on the board above to rescore both players from the same sources.
Neither Jonah Coleman nor Blake Corum has an injury designation for Week 8.
Designations change through the week, so check again before kickoff; this page updates with each refresh.
Each figure is the average of the projection sources that carry the player this week: StatChasers, Sleeper, ESPN, numberFire, FFToday and the betting markets (sportsbook player props). Jonah Coleman is projected by 6 of them and Blake Corum by 6.
A source with no number for a player is left out of the average rather than counted as a zero.
