Should I start Jahan Dotson or Amon-Ra St. Brown in Week 7?
Updated Oct 20, 6:11 AM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Start Amon-Ra St. Brown: 86 percent of the snaps and 27 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Jahan Dotson's 65 percent of the snaps and 13 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 Jahan Dotson 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), Jahan Dotson 50 (5.0 a game over 10 games).
