Should I start Kendrick Bourne or Keaton Mitchell in Week 6?
Updated Oct 19, 11:11 PM ET. Week 7 answers post Tuesday.
Start Kendrick Bourne: 56 percent of the snaps and 8 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Keaton Mitchell's 36 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 Keaton Mitchell for Kendrick Bourne?
Yes, on the rest of the season. Kendrick Bourne projects 71 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (7.1 a game over 10 games), Keaton Mitchell 30 (3.0 a game over 10 games).
