Should I start Ladd McConkey or Brian Robinson in Week 6?
Updated Oct 18, 11:46 PM ET. Week 7 answers post Tuesday.
Start Ladd McConkey: 56 percent of the snaps and 11 percent of the targets 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.
