Should I start T.J. Hockenson or Adonai Mitchell in Week 10?
Updated Nov 10, 10:01 AM ET. Week 11 answers post Tuesday.
Start Adonai Mitchell: 65 percent of the snaps and 21 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against T.J. Hockenson's 50 percent of the snaps and 14 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 Adonai Mitchell for T.J. Hockenson?
Yes, on the rest of the season. T.J. Hockenson projects 82 market-implied PPR points from Week 10 through Week 17 (10.2 a game over 8 games), Adonai Mitchell 35 (5.0 a game over 7 games).
