Start Keon Coleman: 78 percent of the snaps and 19 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Kyle Williams's 37 percent of the snaps and 5 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 Kyle Williams for Keon Coleman?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Keon Coleman projects 72 market-implied PPR points from Week 9 through Week 17 (8.0 a game over 9 games), Kyle Williams 34 (4.2 a game over 8 games).
