Should I start Emeka Egbuka or Najee Harris in Week 6?
Updated Oct 18, 10:11 PM ET. Week 7 answers post Tuesday.
Start Emeka Egbuka: 85 percent of the snaps and 26 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Najee Harris's 19 percent of the snaps and 26 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.
