Should I start Brian Robinson Jr. or Treylon Burks in Week 8?
Updated Oct 28, 5:12 AM ET. Week 9 answers post Tuesday.
Start Treylon Burks: 62 percent of the snaps and 15 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.
