Should I start Roschon Johnson or Rashid Shaheed in Week 7?

Updated Oct 21, 12:21 AM ET.

Start Rashid Shaheed: 50 percent of the snaps and 16 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Roschon Johnson's 28 percent of the snaps and 21 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 Roschon Johnson for Rashid Shaheed?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Rashid Shaheed projects 63 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (6.3 a game over 10 games), Roschon Johnson 27 (2.7 a game over 10 games).
