Should I start Jameis Winston or Tyler Allgeier in Week 7?

Updated Oct 21, 2:41 PM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.

Start Jameis Winston: 85 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Tyler Allgeier's 51 percent of the snaps and 37 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 Jameis Winston?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Jameis Winston projects 138 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (13.8 a game over 10 games), Tyler Allgeier 72 (7.2 a game over 10 games).
