Should I start Omar Cooper or Chris Godwin Jr. in Week 7?

Updated Oct 20, 12:36 PM ET.

Start Chris Godwin Jr.: 89 percent of the snaps and 20 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Omar Cooper's 43 percent of the snaps and 15 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.
