Should I start Chuba Hubbard or Tyler Shough in Week 7?

Updated Oct 20, 11:21 AM ET.

Start Tyler Shough: 99 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Chuba Hubbard's 87 percent of the snaps and 84 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 Chuba Hubbard for Tyler Shough?

Not on these numbers alone. Chuba Hubbard projects 175 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (15.9 a game over 11 games) and Tyler Shough 175 (17.5 a game over 10 games), too close to separate, so the roster spot decides it.

The market-based projections
