  • : A.J. Brown: Questionable to Out (Knee) (Sleeper injury feed)

Start Ryan Flournoy: 81 percent of the snaps and 13 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against A.J. Brown's 68 percent of the snaps and 22 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 A.J. Brown for Ryan Flournoy?

Not on these numbers alone. A.J. Brown projects 55 market-implied PPR points from Week 10 through Week 17 (7.9 a game over 7 games) and Ryan Flournoy 57 (8.2 a game over 7 games), too close to separate, so the roster spot decides it. A.J. Brown is listed out.
