Should I start Aaron Rodgers or Chig Okonkwo in Week 6?
Updated Oct 18, 8:31 PM ET. Week 7 answers post Tuesday.
Start Aaron Rodgers: 99 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Chig Okonkwo's 61 percent of the snaps and 15 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.
