Should I start Michael Wilson or Tucker Kraft in Week 8?
Updated Oct 27, 6:31 AM ET. Week 9 answers post Tuesday.
Start Michael Wilson: 90 percent of the snaps and 23 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Tucker Kraft's 82 percent of the snaps and 20 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 Michael Wilson for Tucker Kraft?
Not on these numbers alone. Michael Wilson projects 103 market-implied PPR points from Week 8 through Week 17 (11.4 a game over 9 games) and Tucker Kraft 103 (11.4 a game over 9 games), too close to separate, so the roster spot decides it.
