Should I start Bo Nix or Fernando Mendoza in Week 10?

Updated Nov 10, 12:21 PM ET.

Start Bo Nix: 100 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Fernando Mendoza's 17 percent of the snaps and 0 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.

Bo Nix is off in Week 10 and Fernando Mendoza in Week 13, so either can cover the other's bye.
