Should I start Emanuel Wilson or Isaac TeSlaa in Week 7?

Updated Oct 21, 12:11 PM ET.

Start Isaac TeSlaa: 57 percent of the snaps and 12 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Emanuel Wilson's 48 percent of the snaps and 66 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 Isaac TeSlaa for Emanuel Wilson?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Emanuel Wilson projects 127 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (12.7 a game over 10 games), Isaac TeSlaa 64 (5.8 a game over 11 games).
