Should I start Rachaad White or Jauan Jennings in Week 8?

Updated Oct 28, 5:31 AM ET.

Start Jauan Jennings: 75 percent of the snaps and 6 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Rachaad White's 57 percent of the snaps and 29 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.

Yes, on the rest of the season. Rachaad White projects 38 market-implied PPR points from Week 8 through Week 17 (3.8 a game over 10 games), Jauan Jennings 23 (2.3 a game over 10 games).
