Tyler Goodson or AJ Dillon: who should I start in Week 6?

Neither man carries a season projection right now, so this is their usage this season and their last full season's numbers, side by side.

Updated Oct 15, 11:21 PM ET.

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