Should I start Rashee Rice or Cam Skattebo in Week 7?

Updated Oct 20, 3:26 PM ET.

Start Rashee Rice: 57 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 Cam Skattebo for Rashee Rice?

Not on these numbers alone. Cam Skattebo projects 130 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (13.0 a game over 10 games) and Rashee Rice 136 (12.4 a game over 11 games), too close to separate, so the roster spot decides it. Rashee Rice is listed out.

The market-based projections
