  • : Ty Johnson: Listed Questionable (Illness) (Sleeper injury feed)

Start Demarcus Robinson: 49 percent of the snaps and 13 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Ty Johnson's 21 percent of the snaps and 6 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 Ty Johnson for Demarcus Robinson?

Not on these numbers alone. Ty Johnson projects 37 market-implied PPR points from Week 10 through Week 17 (4.6 a game over 8 games) and Demarcus Robinson 39 (4.9 a game over 8 games), too close to separate, so the roster spot decides it.
