Should I start Michael Wilson or Courtland Sutton in Week 7?
Updated Oct 20, 7:01 PM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Start Michael Wilson: 90 percent of the snaps and 23 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Courtland Sutton's 77 percent of the snaps and 14 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 Michael Wilson for Courtland Sutton?
Yes, on the rest of the season. Courtland Sutton projects 92 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (9.2 a game over 10 games), Michael Wilson 78 (7.8 a game over 10 games).
