Start Kyler Murray: 100 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Breece Hall's 57 percent of the snaps and 62 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 Breece Hall for Kyler Murray?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Kyler Murray projects 171 market-implied PPR points from Week 8 through Week 17 (17.1 a game over 10 games), Breece Hall 40 (4.4 a game over 9 games). Breece Hall is listed out.

The market-based projections
