Should I start Chimere Dike or Ashton Dulin in Week 8?

Updated Oct 27, 6:31 PM ET.

Start Ashton Dulin: 19 percent of the snaps and 9 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Chimere Dike's 19 percent of the snaps and 5 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.
