Should I start CeeDee Lamb or George Kittle in Week 10?

Updated Nov 10, 10:11 AM ET.

Start CeeDee Lamb: 84 percent of the snaps and 44 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against George Kittle's 86 percent of the snaps and 27 percent of the targets. 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 George Kittle for CeeDee Lamb?

Yes, on the rest of the season. CeeDee Lamb projects 131 market-implied PPR points from Week 10 through Week 17 (18.7 a game over 7 games), George Kittle 118 (14.7 a game over 8 games).
