Should I start Bijan Robinson or Braelon Allen in Week 6?

Updated Oct 19, 4:11 PM ET. Week 7 answers post Tuesday.

Bijan Robinson and Braelon Allen are too close to call on usage: 71 percent of the snaps and 66 percent of the carries against 74 percent of the snaps and 67 percent of the carries over their last 3 games. 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.
