Should I start Stefon Diggs or Bo Nix in Week 8?

Updated Oct 28, 6:16 AM ET. Week 9 answers post Tuesday.

Start Bo Nix: 100 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Stefon Diggs's 62 percent of the snaps and 23 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 Stefon Diggs for Bo Nix?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Bo Nix projects 146 market-implied PPR points from Week 8 through Week 17 (16.2 a game over 9 games), Stefon Diggs 33 (3.3 a game over 10 games).

The market-based projections
