It is a coin flip. Tanner McKee projects for 12.2 PPR points and Cam Ward for 12.0, 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: 12.2 PPR points for Tanner McKee and 12.0 for Cam Ward.
The sources range from 11.0 to 13.6 for McKee and from 9.4 to 14.2 for Ward. Either result is well inside both ranges.
Tanner McKee is the safer start: even the most cautious projection source has McKee at 11.0 PPR points, against 9.4 for Cam Ward.
Start the higher floor when you are favored and only need to avoid a dud.
Cam Ward has the higher ceiling: the most optimistic projection source has Ward at 14.2 PPR points, against 13.6 for Tanner McKee.
Start the higher ceiling when you are the underdog and need points more than safety.
Tanner McKee plays WAS and Cam Ward plays CIN in Week 8.
By fantasy points allowed to each position, McKee faces the 2nd-softest defense against QBs and Ward faces the 16th-toughest defense against QBs, so Tanner McKee 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.
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 Tanner McKee nor Cam Ward has an injury designation for Week 8.

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). Tanner McKee is projected by 6 of them and Cam Ward by 6.
A source with no number for a player is left out of the average rather than counted as a zero.
