Should I start RJ Harvey or Tyson Bagent in Week 6?
Updated Oct 18, 8:51 PM ET. Week 7 answers post Tuesday.
Start Tyson Bagent: 63 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against RJ Harvey's 39 percent of the snaps and 16 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.
