Should I start Garrett Wilson or Cole Kmet in Week 7?
Updated Oct 20, 7:41 PM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Start Garrett Wilson: 96 percent of the snaps and 29 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Cole Kmet's 64 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 Cole Kmet for Garrett Wilson?
Yes, on the rest of the season. Garrett Wilson projects 161 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (16.1 a game over 10 games), Cole Kmet 35 (3.5 a game over 10 games).
