Should I start Brian Robinson or Jahmyr Gibbs in Week 7?

Updated Oct 20, 6:11 AM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.

Start Jahmyr Gibbs: 76 percent of the snaps and 80 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Brian Robinson's 30 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 Jahmyr Gibbs?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Jahmyr Gibbs projects 278 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (25.3 a game over 11 games), Brian Robinson 43 (4.3 a game over 10 games).
