Should I start Omarion Hampton or Ray Davis in Week 8?
Updated Oct 29, 5:51 AM ET. Week 9 answers post Tuesday.
Start Omarion Hampton: 38 percent of the snaps and 34 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Ray Davis's 12 percent of the snaps and 5 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 Ray Davis for Omarion Hampton?
Yes, on the rest of the season. Omarion Hampton projects 66 market-implied PPR points from Week 8 through Week 17 (6.6 a game over 10 games), Ray Davis 11 (1.1 a game over 10 games).
