It is a coin flip. Kendrick Bourne projects for 7.6 PPR points and Jaylin Noel for 7.5, 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: 7.6 PPR points for Kendrick Bourne and 7.5 for Jaylin Noel.
The sources range from 7.0 to 7.9 for Bourne and from 4.9 to 8.9 for Noel. Either result is well inside both ranges.
Kendrick Bourne is the safer start: even the most cautious projection source has Bourne at 7.0 PPR points, against 4.9 for Jaylin Noel.
Start the higher floor when you are favored and only need to avoid a dud.
Jaylin Noel has the higher ceiling: the most optimistic projection source has Noel at 8.9 PPR points, against 7.9 for Kendrick Bourne.
Start the higher ceiling when you are the underdog and need points more than safety.
Kendrick Bourne plays DEN and Jaylin Noel plays NYG in Week 7.
By fantasy points allowed to each position, Bourne faces the 7th-toughest defense against WRs and Noel faces the 14th-toughest defense against WRs, so Jaylin Noel 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.
