Should I start Chig Okonkwo or TreVeyon Henderson in Week 6?

Updated Oct 18, 6:51 PM ET.

Start Chig Okonkwo: 61 percent of the snaps and 15 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against TreVeyon Henderson's 29 percent of the snaps and 30 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.
