Should I start George Holani or Jonathan Taylor in Week 7?

Updated Oct 20, 6:11 AM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.

Start Jonathan Taylor: 76 percent of the snaps and 70 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against George Holani's 47 percent of the snaps and 19 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 George Holani for Jonathan Taylor?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Jonathan Taylor projects 194 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (19.4 a game over 10 games), George Holani 59 (5.9 a game over 10 games).
