Should I start Chig Okonkwo or Omarion Hampton in Week 6?
Updated Oct 19, 1:31 AM ET. Week 7 answers post Tuesday.
Start Chig Okonkwo: 61 percent of the snaps and 15 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Omarion Hampton's 36 percent of the snaps and 40 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.
