Should I start Tank Bigsby or De'Von Achane in Week 8?
Updated Nov 3, 12:11 AM ET. Week 9 answers post Tuesday.
Start De'Von Achane: 52 percent of the snaps and 44 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Tank Bigsby's 30 percent of the snaps and 35 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.
