Should I start Tyler Higbee or Tommy Tremble in Week 7?
Updated Oct 20, 7:01 PM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Start Tyler Higbee: 71 percent of the snaps and 12 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Tommy Tremble's 56 percent of the snaps and 10 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.
