Start Darius Cooper: 85 percent of the snaps and 10 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Tre' Harris's 64 percent of the snaps and 15 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 Darius Cooper for Tre' Harris?

Not on these numbers alone. Darius Cooper projects 10 market-implied PPR points from Week 9 through Week 17 (1.2 a game over 8 games) and Tre' Harris 13 (1.4 a game over 9 games), too close to separate, so the roster spot decides it.
