Should I start Malik Washington or Cam Skattebo in Week 7?
Updated Oct 22, 1:46 AM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Start Malik Washington: 84 percent of the snaps and 29 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 Malik Washington for Cam Skattebo?
Yes, on the rest of the season. Cam Skattebo projects 130 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (13.0 a game over 10 games), Malik Washington 105 (9.5 a game over 11 games).
