Should I start Brian Robinson or Colston Loveland in Week 7?

Start Colston Loveland: 87 percent of the snaps and 20 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Brian Robinson's 27 percent of the snaps and 32 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.

Yes, on the rest of the season. Colston Loveland projects 94 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (9.4 a game over 10 games), Brian Robinson 42 (4.2 a game over 10 games).
