Settle every start/sit call with projections, matchup, recent usage and floor-versus-ceiling for your exact scoring settings.
It is a coin flip. Chase Brown projects for 14.8 PPR points and Tee Higgins for 14.8, within 0.0 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 14.8 for Tee Higgins.
The sources range from 14.3 to 15.2 for Brown and from 14.4 to 15.2 for Higgins. Either result is well inside both ranges.
Tee Higgins is the safer start: even the most cautious projection source has Higgins at 14.4 PPR points, against 14.3 for Chase Brown.
Start the higher floor when you are favored and only need to avoid a dud.
They share the same ceiling, 15.2 PPR points.
Start the higher ceiling when you are the underdog and need points more than safety.
Chase Brown plays BAL and Tee Higgins plays BAL in Week 7.
By fantasy points allowed to each position, Brown faces the 6th-toughest defense against RBs and Higgins faces the 11th-softest defense against WRs, so Tee Higgins 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 Tee Higgins 22% of his team's targets.
These numbers are in PPR. Full PPR adds a point per catch, so it helps whichever player sees more targets, which here is Tee Higgins.
Switch between PPR, Half PPR and Standard on the board above to rescore both players from the same sources.
Neither Chase Brown nor Tee Higgins has an injury designation for Week 7.
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). Chase Brown is projected by 4 of them and Tee Higgins by 3.
A source with no number for a player is left out of the average rather than counted as a zero.
