Should I start Jordan Watkins or Carnell Tate in Week 10?
Updated Nov 10, 1:21 PM ET. Week 11 answers post Tuesday.
Start Carnell Tate: 80 percent of the snaps and 22 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Jordan Watkins's 76 percent of the snaps and 12 percent of the targets. 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.
