Should I start DeMario Douglas or Brian Robinson in Week 7?

Updated Oct 20, 6:16 AM ET.

Start DeMario Douglas: 51 percent of the snaps and 13 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Brian Robinson's 30 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.

Both are off in Week 11, so a roster holding the pair has that one week to cover twice.
