Start Kyler Murray: 100 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Bryce Young's 93 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets. 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 Bryce Young for Kyler Murray?
Not on these numbers alone. Bryce Young projects 134 market-implied PPR points from Week 10 through Week 17 (16.8 a game over 8 games) and Kyler Murray 134 (16.8 a game over 8 games), too close to separate, so the roster spot decides it. Kyler Murray is listed out.
