Should I start Tyler Shough or Blake Corum in Week 6?

Updated Oct 18, 9:31 PM ET. Week 7 answers post Tuesday.

Start Tyler Shough: 100 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Blake Corum's 24 percent of the snaps and 23 percent of the carries. 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.
