Should I start Eli Raridon or Daniel Bellinger in Week 10?
Updated Nov 12, 2:41 AM ET. Week 11 answers post Tuesday.
Start Eli Raridon: 68 percent of the snaps and 16 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Daniel Bellinger's 45 percent of the snaps and 9 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 Daniel Bellinger for Eli Raridon?
Yes, on the rest of the season. Eli Raridon projects 22 market-implied PPR points from Week 10 through Week 17 (3.2 a game over 7 games), Daniel Bellinger 18 (2.2 a game over 8 games).
