Start DeMario Douglas: 51 percent of the snaps and 16 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Cam Skattebo's 45 percent of the snaps and 42 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 DeMario Douglas for Cam Skattebo?
Yes, on the rest of the season. Cam Skattebo projects 117 market-implied PPR points from Week 8 through Week 17 (13.0 a game over 9 games), DeMario Douglas 69 (7.7 a game over 9 games).

The market-based projections
