Should I start Eli Raridon or Tank Dell in Week 10?

Updated Nov 10, 10:11 AM ET.

Start Eli Raridon: 68 percent of the snaps and 16 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Tank Dell's 36 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.

Yes, on the rest of the season. Eli Raridon projects 29 market-implied PPR points from Week 10 through Week 17 (4.2 a game over 7 games), Tank Dell 23 (2.9 a game over 8 games).

Eli Raridon is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.

The season feed carries no line for Tank Dell in the last completed season.

Side by side

Eli Raridon is a tight end and Tank Dell a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.
