It is a coin flip. Chase Brown projects for 14.8 PPR points and Jalen Coker for 14.7, within 0.1 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: 14.8 PPR points for Chase Brown and 14.7 for Jalen Coker.
The sources range from 14.3 to 15.2 for Brown and from 13.2 to 15.6 for Coker. Either result is well inside both ranges.
Chase Brown is the safer start: even the most cautious projection source has Brown at 14.3 PPR points, against 13.2 for Jalen Coker.
Start the higher floor when you are favored and only need to avoid a dud.
Jalen Coker has the higher ceiling: the most optimistic projection source has Coker at 15.6 PPR points, against 15.2 for Chase Brown.
Start the higher ceiling when you are the underdog and need points more than safety.
Chase Brown plays BAL and Jalen Coker plays TB in Week 7.
By fantasy points allowed to each position, Brown faces the 6th-toughest defense against RBs and Coker faces the 14th-softest defense against WRs, so Jalen Coker 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 Chase Brown has drawn 55% of his team's carries, and Jalen Coker 24% of his team's targets.

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). Chase Brown is projected by 4 of them and Jalen Coker by 4.
A source with no number for a player is left out of the average rather than counted as a zero.
