Should I start Marvin Harrison Jr. or Antonio Williams in Week 8?
Updated Oct 27, 8:11 AM ET. Week 9 answers post Tuesday.
Start Antonio Williams: he has been on the field this season, 68 percent of the snaps, and Marvin Harrison Jr. has no snap on record yet. 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.
