Should I start Ja'Kobi Lane or Makai Lemon in Week 7?
Updated Oct 20, 9:16 AM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Start Makai Lemon: 75 percent of the snaps and 20 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Ja'Kobi Lane's 40 percent of the snaps and 13 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.
