Should I start TreVeyon Henderson or Saquon Barkley in Week 7?

Updated Oct 21, 11:46 PM ET.

TreVeyon Henderson and Saquon Barkley are too close to call on usage: 26 percent of the snaps and 26 percent of the carries against 28 percent of the snaps and 27 percent of the carries over their last 3 games. 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 TreVeyon Henderson for Saquon Barkley?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Saquon Barkley projects 89 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (8.9 a game over 10 games), TreVeyon Henderson 48 (4.8 a game over 10 games). Saquon Barkley is listed questionable.
