Should I start Keenan Allen or Greg Dulcich in Week 8?

Updated Oct 27, 2:16 PM ET.

Start Greg Dulcich: 65 percent of the snaps and 16 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Keenan Allen's 57 percent of the snaps and 23 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 Greg Dulcich for Keenan Allen?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Keenan Allen projects 81 market-implied PPR points from Week 8 through Week 17 (9.0 a game over 9 games), Greg Dulcich 60 (6.0 a game over 10 games).
