Should I start Jordan Love or Cam Ward in Week 6?

Updated Oct 19, 4:11 PM ET. Week 7 answers post Tuesday.

Jordan Love and Cam Ward are too close to call on usage: 99 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets against 100 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games. 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 Ward for Jordan Love?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Jordan Love projects 160 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (16.0 a game over 10 games), Cam Ward 125 (12.5 a game over 10 games).
