Should I start Hunter Henry or Brian Robinson Jr. in Week 7?

Updated Oct 24, 7:16 PM ET.

Start Hunter Henry: 68 percent of the snaps and 14 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Brian Robinson Jr.'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.
