Should I start Jauan Jennings or Stefon Diggs in Week 8?
Updated Oct 27, 11:16 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 Stefon Diggs's 62 percent of the snaps and 23 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 Stefon Diggs?
Yes, on the rest of the season. Stefon Diggs projects 33 market-implied PPR points from Week 8 through Week 17 (3.3 a game over 10 games), Jauan Jennings 24 (2.4 a game over 10 games).
