It is a coin flip. Kalif Raymond projects for 6.4 PPR points and Jahan Dotson for 6.3, 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: 6.4 PPR points for Kalif Raymond and 6.3 for Jahan Dotson.
The sources range from 4.9 to 7.2 for Raymond and from 5.5 to 7.4 for Dotson. Either result is well inside both ranges.
Jahan Dotson is the safer start: even the most cautious projection source has Dotson at 5.5 PPR points, against 4.9 for Kalif Raymond.
Start the higher floor when you are favored and only need to avoid a dud.
Jahan Dotson has the higher ceiling: the most optimistic projection source has Dotson at 7.4 PPR points, against 7.2 for Kalif Raymond.
Start the higher ceiling when you are the underdog and need points more than safety.
Kalif Raymond plays SEA and Jahan Dotson plays TB in Week 8.
By fantasy points allowed to each position, Raymond faces the 1st-toughest defense against WRs and Dotson faces the 12th-toughest defense against WRs, so Jahan Dotson 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 Kalif Raymond has drawn 8% of his team's targets, and Jahan Dotson 12% of his team's targets.
Jahan Dotson 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, which here is Jahan Dotson.
Switch between PPR, Half PPR and Standard on the board above to rescore both players from the same sources.
Neither Kalif Raymond nor Jahan Dotson has an injury designation for Week 8.

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). Kalif Raymond is projected by 5 of them and Jahan Dotson by 5.
A source with no number for a player is left out of the average rather than counted as a zero.
