It is a coin flip. Josh Jacobs projects for 12.2 PPR points and Rhamondre Stevenson for 12.0, within 0.2 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: 12.2 PPR points for Josh Jacobs and 12.0 for Rhamondre Stevenson.
The sources range from 11.8 to 12.6 for Jacobs and from 11.1 to 14.2 for Stevenson. Either result is well inside both ranges.
Josh Jacobs is the safer start: even the most cautious projection source has Jacobs at 11.8 PPR points, against 11.1 for Rhamondre Stevenson.
Start the higher floor when you are favored and only need to avoid a dud.
Rhamondre Stevenson has the higher ceiling: the most optimistic projection source has Stevenson at 14.2 PPR points, against 12.6 for Josh Jacobs.
Start the higher ceiling when you are the underdog and need points more than safety.
Josh Jacobs plays DET and Rhamondre Stevenson plays CHI in Week 7.
By fantasy points allowed to each position, Jacobs faces the 8th-toughest defense against RBs and Stevenson faces the 4th-toughest defense against RBs, so Josh Jacobs has the softer matchup.

Over his recent games Josh Jacobs has drawn 35% of his team's carries, and Rhamondre Stevenson 39% of his team's carries.
Rhamondre Stevenson 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.
Switch between PPR, Half PPR and Standard on the board above to rescore both players from the same sources.
Neither Josh Jacobs nor Rhamondre Stevenson has an injury designation for Week 7.

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). Josh Jacobs is projected by 4 of them and Rhamondre Stevenson by 5.
A source with no number for a player is left out of the average rather than counted as a zero.
