Should I start Tank Bigsby or Kaelon Black in Week 8?
Updated Nov 3, 3:36 AM ET. Week 9 answers post Tuesday.
Tank Bigsby and Kaelon Black are too close to call on usage: 30 percent of the snaps and 35 percent of the carries against 30 percent of the snaps and 35 percent of the carries over their last 3 games. 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.
