Should I start Baker Mayfield or Colston Loveland in Week 10?
Updated Nov 10, 11:31 AM ET. Week 11 answers post Tuesday.
Start Baker Mayfield: 97 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Colston Loveland's 88 percent of the snaps and 28 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 Colston Loveland for Baker Mayfield?
Yes, on the rest of the season. Baker Mayfield projects 112 market-implied PPR points from Week 10 through Week 17 (16.0 a game over 7 games), Colston Loveland 67 (9.5 a game over 7 games).
