Should I start D'Andre Swift or Keon Coleman in Week 8?

Updated Oct 29, 8:26 AM ET.

Start Keon Coleman: 78 percent of the snaps and 19 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against D'Andre Swift's 67 percent of the snaps and 55 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 Keon Coleman for D'Andre Swift?

Yes, on the rest of the season. D'Andre Swift projects 138 market-implied PPR points from Week 8 through Week 17 (15.3 a game over 9 games), Keon Coleman 80 (8.0 a game over 10 games).
