Should I start Tyler Allgeier or Garrett Wilson in Week 8?
Updated Oct 28, 5:31 AM ET. Week 9 answers post Tuesday.
Start Garrett Wilson: 92 percent of the snaps and 23 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Tyler Allgeier's 49 percent of the snaps and 38 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 Tyler Allgeier for Garrett Wilson?
Yes, on the rest of the season. Garrett Wilson projects 139 market-implied PPR points from Week 8 through Week 17 (15.4 a game over 9 games), Tyler Allgeier 65 (7.2 a game over 9 games).
