Should I start Isaac TeSlaa or Kyle Williams in Week 8?
Updated Oct 27, 1:26 PM ET. Week 9 answers post Tuesday.
Start Isaac TeSlaa: 57 percent of the snaps and 11 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Kyle Williams's 37 percent of the snaps and 5 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 Kyle Williams for Isaac TeSlaa?
Yes, on the rest of the season. Isaac TeSlaa projects 58 market-implied PPR points from Week 8 through Week 17 (5.8 a game over 10 games), Kyle Williams 29 (3.2 a game over 9 games).
