Should I start Ryan Flournoy or Brian Robinson in Week 7?
Updated Oct 20, 10:41 PM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Start Ryan Flournoy: 77 percent of the snaps and 13 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 Ryan Flournoy?
Yes, on the rest of the season. Ryan Flournoy projects 79 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (7.9 a game over 10 games), Brian Robinson 42 (4.2 a game over 10 games).
