Should I start TreVeyon Henderson or Jonathan Taylor in Week 7?
Updated Oct 20, 12:36 PM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Start Jonathan Taylor: 75 percent of the snaps and 68 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against TreVeyon Henderson's 26 percent of the snaps and 26 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 TreVeyon Henderson for Jonathan Taylor?
Yes, on the rest of the season. Jonathan Taylor projects 188 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (18.8 a game over 10 games), TreVeyon Henderson 51 (5.1 a game over 10 games).
