Oct 31, 2:47 PM ET: Jack Bech: IR to Questionable (Forearm, Fracture) (Sleeper injury feed)

Start Jack Bech: 36 percent of the snaps and 2 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Tank Dell's 23 percent of the snaps and 4 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.
