Start Jacoby Brissett: 100 percent of the snaps and 1 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Jaylen Wright's 15 percent of the snaps and 16 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 Jaylen Wright for Jacoby Brissett?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Jacoby Brissett projects 155 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (15.5 a game over 10 games), Jaylen Wright 42 (3.8 a game over 11 games). Jaylen Wright is listed questionable.
