It is a coin flip. Woody Marks projects for 13.2 PPR points and George Pickens 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 Woody Marks and 13.1 for George Pickens.
The sources range from 10.4 to 14.9 for Marks and from 11.5 to 14.4 for Pickens. Either result is well inside both ranges.
George Pickens is the safer start: even the most cautious projection source has Pickens at 11.5 PPR points, against 10.4 for Woody Marks.
Start the higher floor when you are favored and only need to avoid a dud.
Woody Marks has the higher ceiling: the most optimistic projection source has Marks at 14.9 PPR points, against 14.4 for George Pickens.
Start the higher ceiling when you are the underdog and need points more than safety.
Woody Marks plays NYG and George Pickens plays PHI in Week 7.
By fantasy points allowed to each position, Marks faces the 15th-softest defense against RBs and Pickens faces the 3rd-softest defense against WRs, so George Pickens 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 Woody Marks has drawn 51% of his team's carries, and George Pickens 19% 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 Pickens.
Switch between PPR, Half PPR and Standard on the board above to rescore both players from the same sources.
Neither Woody Marks nor George Pickens 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). Woody Marks is projected by 5 of them and George Pickens by 4.
A source with no number for a player is left out of the average rather than counted as a zero.
