Should I start Chris Brooks or Jeremy McNichols in Week 10?
Updated Nov 10, 12:21 PM ET. Week 11 answers post Tuesday.
Start Chris Brooks: 35 percent of the snaps and 16 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Jeremy McNichols's 19 percent of the snaps and 24 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.
