It is a coin flip. Trey McBride projects for 15.5 PPR points and D'Andre Swift for 15.3, 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: 15.5 PPR points for Trey McBride and 15.3 for D'Andre Swift.
The sources range from 15.2 to 15.9 for McBride and from 13.1 to 16.7 for Swift. Either result is well inside both ranges.
Trey McBride is the safer start: even the most cautious projection source has McBride at 15.2 PPR points, against 13.1 for D'Andre Swift.
Start the higher floor when you are favored and only need to avoid a dud.
D'Andre Swift has the higher ceiling: the most optimistic projection source has Swift at 16.7 PPR points, against 15.9 for Trey McBride.
Start the higher ceiling when you are the underdog and need points more than safety.
Trey McBride plays DEN and D'Andre Swift plays NE in Week 7.
By fantasy points allowed to each position, McBride faces the 14th-softest defense against TEs and Swift faces the 16th-softest defense against RBs, so Trey McBride 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 Trey McBride has drawn 27% of his team's targets, and D'Andre Swift 36% of his team's carries.
These numbers are in PPR. Full PPR adds a point per catch, so it helps whichever player sees more targets, which here is Trey McBride.

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). Trey McBride is projected by 4 of them and D'Andre Swift by 5.
A source with no number for a player is left out of the average rather than counted as a zero.
