Should I start CeeDee Lamb or Justice Hill in Week 8?

Updated Oct 27, 10:06 PM ET.

Start CeeDee Lamb: 77 percent of the snaps and 29 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Justice Hill's 45 percent of the snaps and 8 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 Justice Hill for CeeDee Lamb?

Yes, on the rest of the season. CeeDee Lamb projects 162 market-implied PPR points from Week 8 through Week 17 (18.0 a game over 9 games), Justice Hill 41 (4.5 a game over 9 games).
