Should I start Cyrus Allen or Chris Bell in Week 10?

Updated Nov 10, 10:01 AM ET.

Start Chris Bell: 60 percent of the snaps and 14 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Cyrus Allen's 35 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.
