Should I start Tyler Higbee or Breece Hall in Week 7?

Updated Oct 21, 6:46 AM ET.

Start Tyler Higbee: 71 percent of the snaps and 12 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 Tyler Higbee?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Tyler Higbee projects 79 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (7.9 a game over 10 games), Breece Hall 44 (4.4 a game over 10 games). Breece Hall is listed questionable.
