Should I start Jalen Coker or Tyler Allgeier in Week 6?

Start Jalen Coker: 64 percent of the snaps and 20 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Tyler Allgeier's 44 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 Tyler Allgeier for Jalen Coker?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Jalen Coker projects 135 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (12.3 a game over 11 games), Tyler Allgeier 74 (7.4 a game over 10 games).
