  • : Jahmyr Gibbs: Listed Questionable (Shoulder) (Sleeper injury feed)

Start Jahmyr Gibbs: he has been on the field this season, 82 percent of the snaps, and Zach Charbonnet has no snap on record yet. 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 Zach Charbonnet for Jahmyr Gibbs?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Jahmyr Gibbs projects 228 market-implied PPR points from Week 9 through Week 17 (25.3 a game over 9 games), Zach Charbonnet 32 (4.0 a game over 8 games).
