Should I start Jaylin Noel or Jeremiyah Love in Week 7?

Updated Oct 21, 4:46 PM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.

Start Jeremiyah Love: 54 percent of the snaps and 66 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Jaylin Noel's 52 percent of the snaps and 13 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 Jaylin Noel for Jeremiyah Love?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Jeremiyah Love projects 107 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (10.7 a game over 10 games), Jaylin Noel 55 (5.5 a game over 10 games). Jeremiyah Love is listed questionable.

The market-based projections
