Should I start MarShawn Lloyd or Tanner McKee in Week 7?

Updated Oct 21, 2:41 PM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.

Start Tanner McKee: 100 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against MarShawn Lloyd's 46 percent of the snaps and 36 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 MarShawn Lloyd for Tanner McKee?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Tanner McKee projects 139 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (13.9 a game over 10 games), MarShawn Lloyd 67 (6.7 a game over 10 games).
