Should I start Terry McLaurin or Xavier Legette in Week 7?
Updated Oct 20, 12:36 PM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Start Xavier Legette: 51 percent of the snaps and 9 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Terry McLaurin's 48 percent of the snaps and 16 percent of the targets. 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.
