Should I start Emeka Egbuka or Aaron Rodgers in Week 7?

Updated Oct 20, 6:26 PM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.

Start Aaron Rodgers: 99 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Emeka Egbuka's 89 percent of the snaps and 32 percent of the targets. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

Should I drop Emeka Egbuka for Aaron Rodgers?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Aaron Rodgers projects 145 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (14.5 a game over 10 games), Emeka Egbuka 89 (8.9 a game over 10 games).

The market-based projections
