It is a coin flip. DJ Moore projects for 13.2 PPR points and Tony Pollard for 13.1, 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: 13.2 PPR points for DJ Moore and 13.1 for Tony Pollard.
The sources range from 11.9 to 14.7 for Moore and from 12.1 to 14.1 for Pollard. Either result is well inside both ranges.
Tony Pollard is the safer start: even the most cautious projection source has Pollard at 12.1 PPR points, against 11.9 for DJ Moore.
Start the higher floor when you are favored and only need to avoid a dud.
DJ Moore has the higher ceiling: the most optimistic projection source has Moore at 14.7 PPR points, against 14.1 for Tony Pollard.
Start the higher ceiling when you are the underdog and need points more than safety.
DJ Moore plays BAL and Tony Pollard plays CIN in Week 8.
By fantasy points allowed to each position, Moore faces the 7th-softest defense against WRs and Pollard faces the 4th-toughest defense against RBs, so DJ Moore 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 DJ Moore has drawn 14% of his team's targets, and Tony Pollard 82% 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 DJ Moore.
Switch between PPR, Half PPR and Standard on the board above to rescore both players from the same sources.
Neither DJ Moore nor Tony Pollard has an injury designation for Week 8.
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). DJ Moore is projected by 5 of them and Tony Pollard by 6.
A source with no number for a player is left out of the average rather than counted as a zero.
