Should I start Chris Godwin Jr. or Hunter Henry in Week 8?

Updated Oct 27, 6:11 PM ET.

Start Chris Godwin Jr.: 73 percent of the snaps and 45 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Hunter Henry's 72 percent of the snaps and 18 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 Chris Godwin Jr. for Hunter Henry?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Hunter Henry projects 86 market-implied PPR points from Week 8 through Week 17 (9.6 a game over 9 games), Chris Godwin Jr. 69 (7.7 a game over 9 games).
