Should I start Ricky Pearsall or Stefon Diggs in Week 7?
Updated Oct 20, 6:11 AM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Start Stefon Diggs: he has been on the field this season, 58 percent of the snaps, and Ricky Pearsall has no snap on record yet. 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.
