Should I start Kaelon Black or Dohnte Meyers in Week 10?

Updated Nov 10, 6:16 PM ET.

Start Dohnte Meyers: 48 percent of the snaps and 8 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Kaelon Black's 31 percent of the snaps and 34 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 Dohnte Meyers for Kaelon Black?

Not on these numbers alone. Dohnte Meyers projects 41 market-implied PPR points from Week 10 through Week 17 (5.1 a game over 8 games) and Kaelon Black 42 (5.3 a game over 8 games), too close to separate, so the roster spot decides it.

The market-based projections
