Should I start Tyler Allgeier or Javonte Williams in Week 8?
Updated Oct 27, 8:26 AM ET. Week 9 answers post Tuesday.
Start Javonte Williams: 77 percent of the snaps and 79 percent of the carries 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 Javonte Williams?
Yes, on the rest of the season. Javonte Williams projects 144 market-implied PPR points from Week 8 through Week 17 (16.0 a game over 9 games), Tyler Allgeier 65 (7.2 a game over 9 games).
