Should I start Chuba Hubbard or Amon-Ra St. Brown in Week 7?

Updated Oct 20, 4:11 AM ET.

Start Amon-Ra St. Brown: 86 percent of the snaps and 27 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Chuba Hubbard's 78 percent of the snaps and 73 percent of the carries. 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 Chuba Hubbard for Amon-Ra St. Brown?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Amon-Ra St. Brown projects 219 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (19.9 a game over 11 games), Chuba Hubbard 175 (15.9 a game over 11 games).
