Should I start Pat Freiermuth or Adonai Mitchell in Week 6?

Both players' season market-based projection, their usage this season and their last full season's numbers, with the draft market's own figures wherever it still has them.

Updated Oct 16, 8:31 PM ET.

Neither is in the consensus draft sample any more, and the market has not posted a whole projection for Adonai Mitchell, so there is no current market order to give between these two. What follows is what each of them has already done.
