Should I start Jameis Winston or Corey Kiner in Week 7?

Updated Oct 22, 3:46 AM ET.

Start Jameis Winston: 85 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Corey Kiner's 13 percent of the snaps and 18 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 Corey Kiner for Jameis Winston?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Jameis Winston projects 138 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (13.8 a game over 10 games), Corey Kiner 25 (2.5 a game over 10 games).

The market-based projections
