Should I start Brian Robinson Jr. or Theo Wease Jr. in Week 8?

Updated Oct 27, 10:41 PM ET.

Start Theo Wease Jr.: 56 percent of the snaps and 7 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.
