Should I start RJ Harvey or Isaac TeSlaa in Week 7?

Updated Oct 21, 7:41 PM ET.

Start Isaac TeSlaa: 57 percent of the snaps and 12 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against RJ Harvey's 41 percent of the snaps and 21 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 Isaac TeSlaa for RJ Harvey?

Yes, on the rest of the season. RJ Harvey projects 87 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (8.7 a game over 10 games), Isaac TeSlaa 64 (5.8 a game over 11 games).

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for RJ Harvey is 2.1 PPR points a game off 1 market across 9 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
