Should I start Cam Skattebo or C.J. Stroud in Week 6?
Updated Oct 18, 9:51 PM ET. Week 7 answers post Tuesday.
Start C.J. Stroud: 100 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Cam Skattebo's 67 percent of the snaps and 59 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.

Cam Skattebo finished RB37 and C.J. Stroud QB21, which are two different ladders.

Byes and availability
Both are off in Week 8, so a roster holding the pair has that one week to cover twice.
