Should I start Ryan Flournoy or Romeo Doubs in Week 6?

Updated Oct 18, 7:41 PM ET.

Week 6 verdict

Start Romeo Doubs over Ryan Flournoy

Final: 11.2 to 17.0

Doubs projects lower, 7.6 to 8.1, and still gets the call because it also weighs where drafters take each player: ADP 114 for Doubs, 220 for Flournoy.
