Should I start Ryan Flournoy or Tyler Allgeier in Week 8?

Start Ryan Flournoy: 77 percent of the snaps and 13 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Tyler Allgeier's 51 percent of the snaps and 37 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 Tyler Allgeier for Ryan Flournoy?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Ryan Flournoy projects 71 market-implied PPR points from Week 8 through Week 17 (7.9 a game over 9 games), Tyler Allgeier 65 (7.2 a game over 9 games).
