Should I start Rome Odunze or Matthew Stafford in Week 7?

Updated Oct 21, 9:46 PM ET.

Start Matthew Stafford: 100 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Rome Odunze's 94 percent of the snaps and 19 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 Rome Odunze for Matthew Stafford?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Matthew Stafford projects 164 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (16.4 a game over 10 games), Rome Odunze 93 (9.3 a game over 10 games).
