Should I start Tim Patrick or Ashton Dulin in Week 7?

Updated Oct 20, 3:26 PM ET.

Start Tim Patrick: 82 percent of the snaps and 10 percent of the targets over their last 2 games, against Ashton Dulin's 28 percent of the snaps and 12 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.
