Should I start Parker Washington or Rhamondre Stevenson in Week 8?

Updated Oct 27, 10:11 PM ET.

Start Parker Washington: 78 percent of the snaps and 23 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Rhamondre Stevenson's 66 percent of the snaps and 41 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 Rhamondre Stevenson for Parker Washington?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Parker Washington projects 136 market-implied PPR points from Week 8 through Week 17 (13.6 a game over 10 games), Rhamondre Stevenson 104 (11.6 a game over 9 games).
