Should I start Jacoby Brissett or Emanuel Wilson in Week 7?

Updated Oct 21, 8:41 PM ET.

Start Jacoby Brissett: 100 percent of the snaps and 1 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 Emanuel Wilson for Jacoby Brissett?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Jacoby Brissett projects 155 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (15.5 a game over 10 games), Emanuel Wilson 127 (12.7 a game over 10 games).
