Should I start Laquon Treadwell or Chimere Dike in Week 7?

Updated Oct 20, 9:21 AM ET.

Start Laquon Treadwell: 81 percent of the snaps and 14 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Chimere Dike's 13 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.
