Start Jadarian Price: 36 percent of the snaps and 35 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Kenny Gainwell's 27 percent of the snaps and 18 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 Kenny Gainwell for Jadarian Price?
Not on these numbers alone. Kenny Gainwell projects 49 market-implied PPR points from Week 9 through Week 17 (6.1 a game over 8 games) and Jadarian Price 50 (6.3 a game over 8 games), too close to separate, so the roster spot decides it.
