Should I start Tre' Harris or Brenton Strange in Week 8?

Updated Oct 27, 11:11 AM ET.

Start Brenton Strange: 81 percent of the snaps and 23 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Tre' Harris's 66 percent of the snaps and 19 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.
