Should I start Chimere Dike or Kevin Coleman in Week 7?

Updated Oct 20, 12:36 PM ET.

Start Kevin Coleman: 60 percent of the snaps and 19 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Chimere Dike's 16 percent of the snaps and 6 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.
