Should I start Bo Melton or Jordan Watkins in Week 6?

Updated Oct 19, 8:21 PM ET.

Bo Melton and Jordan Watkins are too close to call on usage: 33 percent of the snaps and 5 percent of the targets against 34 percent of the snaps and 2 percent of the targets 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.
