Should I start Chimere Dike or Rashee Rice in Week 7?

Updated Oct 19, 9:21 PM ET.

Start Rashee Rice: 57 percent of the snaps and 16 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.
