Should I start Xavier Worthy or Chimere Dike in Week 7?
Updated Oct 23, 12:36 AM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Start Xavier Worthy: 80 percent of the snaps and 20 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Chimere Dike's 16 percent of the snaps and 6 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 Chimere Dike for Xavier Worthy?
Yes, on the rest of the season. Xavier Worthy projects 92 market-implied PPR points from Week 8 through Week 17 (9.2 a game over 10 games), Chimere Dike 6 (0.7 a game over 9 games).
