Should I start Dallas Goedert or Tyler Shough in Week 6?
Updated Oct 18, 8:51 PM ET. Week 7 answers post Tuesday.
Start Tyler Shough: 100 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Dallas Goedert's 59 percent of the snaps and 17 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.
