Should I start Tyler Shough or Mark Andrews in Week 10?

Updated Nov 10, 10:11 AM ET.

Start Tyler Shough: 99 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Mark Andrews's 57 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 Mark Andrews for Tyler Shough?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Tyler Shough projects 134 market-implied PPR points from Week 10 through Week 17 (16.8 a game over 8 games), Mark Andrews 60 (8.5 a game over 7 games).
