Should I start Devontez Walker or Adonai Mitchell in Week 8?
Updated Oct 28, 4:26 PM ET. Week 9 answers post Tuesday.
Start Adonai Mitchell: 67 percent of the snaps and 20 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Devontez Walker's 51 percent of the snaps and 4 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.
