Should I start Brian Robinson or Courtland Sutton in Week 7?

Updated Oct 21, 8:02 AM ET.

Start Courtland Sutton: 77 percent of the snaps and 14 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Brian Robinson's 27 percent of the snaps and 32 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 Brian Robinson for Courtland Sutton?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Courtland Sutton projects 91 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (9.1 a game over 10 games), Brian Robinson 43 (4.3 a game over 10 games).

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Brian Robinson is 6.6 PPR points a game off 2 markets across 8 market sources. That is 70 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
