- : Brian Robinson Jr.: Listed Questionable (Hamstring) (Sleeper injury feed)
Start Brian Robinson Jr.: 27 percent of the snaps and 32 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Kaleb Johnson's 15 percent of the snaps and 23 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 Kaleb Johnson for Brian Robinson Jr.?
Not on these numbers alone. Kaleb Johnson projects 42 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (4.2 a game over 10 games) and Brian Robinson Jr. 44 (4.4 a game over 10 games), too close to separate, so the roster spot decides it. Brian Robinson Jr. is listed questionable.
