Start Kiner or Tucker? The full Week 7 breakdown

Start Corey Kiner: 13 percent of the snaps and 18 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Sean Tucker's 5 percent of the snaps and 9 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 Sean Tucker for Corey Kiner?

Not on these numbers alone. Sean Tucker projects 19 market-implied PPR points from Week 8 through Week 17 (2.1 a game over 9 games) and Corey Kiner 22 (2.4 a game over 9 games), too close to separate, so the roster spot decides it.
