Should I start TreVeyon Henderson or Puka Nacua in Week 7?

Updated Oct 20, 7:36 PM ET.

Start Puka Nacua: 88 percent of the snaps and 32 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against TreVeyon Henderson's 26 percent of the snaps and 26 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 TreVeyon Henderson for Puka Nacua?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Puka Nacua projects 173 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (17.3 a game over 10 games), TreVeyon Henderson 51 (5.1 a game over 10 games).

The market-based projections
