Should I start Omarion Hampton or Pat Freiermuth in Week 10?

Updated Nov 11, 12:21 AM ET.

Start Pat Freiermuth: 60 percent of the snaps and 10 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Omarion Hampton's 40 percent of the snaps and 38 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 Omarion Hampton for Pat Freiermuth?

Not on these numbers alone. Omarion Hampton projects 60 market-implied PPR points from Week 10 through Week 17 (7.5 a game over 8 games) and Pat Freiermuth 63 (7.9 a game over 8 games), too close to separate, so the roster spot decides it.
