Should I start Kalif Raymond or Jauan Jennings in Week 8?
Updated Oct 27, 2:26 PM ET. Week 9 answers post Tuesday.
Start Jauan Jennings: 75 percent of the snaps and 6 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Kalif Raymond's 61 percent of the snaps and 8 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.
Should I drop Jauan Jennings for Kalif Raymond?
Yes, on the rest of the season. Kalif Raymond projects 59 market-implied PPR points from Week 8 through Week 17 (6.6 a game over 9 games), Jauan Jennings 12 (1.2 a game over 10 games).
