Should I start Jalen Brooks or Tyrone Tracy in Week 7?

Updated Oct 21, 8:31 AM ET.

Start Jalen Brooks: 38 percent of the snaps and 9 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Tyrone Tracy's 25 percent of the snaps and 14 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 Tyrone Tracy for Jalen Brooks?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Jalen Brooks projects 43 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (4.3 a game over 10 games), Tyrone Tracy 34 (3.4 a game over 10 games).
