Break the tie with the floor if you are favored this week, and with the ceiling if you need a big game to win.

The sources range from 3.6 to 8.0 for Hill and from 3.6 to 7.5 for Johnson. Either result is well inside both ranges.
They share the same floor, 3.6 PPR points.
Start the higher floor when you are favored and only need to avoid a dud.
Justice Hill has the higher ceiling: the most optimistic projection source has Hill at 8.0 PPR points, against 7.5 for Emmett Johnson.
Start the higher ceiling when you are the underdog and need points more than safety.

By fantasy points allowed to each position, Hill faces the 1st-toughest defense against RBs and Johnson faces the 15th-softest defense against RBs, so Emmett Johnson has the softer matchup.

Over his recent games Justice Hill has drawn 9% of his team's carries, and Emmett Johnson 6% of his team's carries.
Justice Hill has the bigger role, and volume is the steadiest thing a projection rests on.
These numbers are in PPR. Full PPR adds a point per catch, so it helps whichever player sees more 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). Justice Hill is projected by 6 of them and Emmett Johnson by 6.
A source with no number for a player is left out of the average rather than counted as a zero.
