Should I start Bucky Irving or Davante Adams in Week 10?
Updated Nov 10, 3:16 PM ET. Week 11 answers post Tuesday.
Start Davante Adams: 82 percent of the snaps and 15 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Bucky Irving's 60 percent of the snaps and 55 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.
