It is a coin flip. D'Andre Swift projects for 17.5 PPR points and George Kittle for 17.4, 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: 17.5 PPR points for D'Andre Swift and 17.4 for George Kittle.
The sources range from 16.6 to 18.6 for Swift and from 15.7 to 18.6 for Kittle. Either result is well inside both ranges.
D'Andre Swift is the safer start: even the most cautious projection source has Swift at 16.6 PPR points, against 15.7 for George Kittle.
Start the higher floor when you are favored and only need to avoid a dud.
They share the same ceiling, 18.6 PPR points.
Start the higher ceiling when you are the underdog and need points more than safety.
D'Andre Swift plays TB and George Kittle plays LV in Week 9.
By fantasy points allowed to each position, Swift faces the 2nd-toughest defense against RBs and Kittle faces the 4th-softest defense against TEs, so George Kittle 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 D'Andre Swift has drawn 66% of his team's carries, and George Kittle 25% 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 George Kittle.
Switch between PPR, Half PPR and Standard on the board above to rescore both players from the same sources.
Neither D'Andre Swift nor George Kittle has an injury designation for Week 9.

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). D'Andre Swift is projected by 6 of them and George Kittle by 5.
A source with no number for a player is left out of the average rather than counted as a zero.
