Should I start Ricky Pearsall or Antonio Williams in Week 6?

Updated Oct 20, 2:36 AM ET.

Start Antonio Williams: he has been on the field this season, 58 percent of the snaps, and Ricky Pearsall 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.

He has taken 8 of the offence's 42 third down targets, had 1 of its 7 chances inside the five and seen 5 of its 20 two minute targets.

Ricky Pearsall is off in Week 8 and Antonio Williams in Week 7, so either can cover the other's bye.
