Should I start Jalen Brooks or George Holani in Week 7?

Updated Oct 21, 8:02 AM ET.

Start George Holani: 47 percent of the snaps and 19 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Jalen Brooks's 38 percent of the snaps and 9 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.

Should I drop Jalen Brooks for George Holani?

Yes, on the rest of the season. George Holani projects 54 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (5.4 a game over 10 games), Jalen Brooks 43 (4.3 a game over 10 games).
