Should I start Chris Olave or KC Concepcion Jr. in Week 8?

Updated Oct 27, 12:21 PM ET.

Start KC Concepcion Jr.: 79 percent of the snaps and 29 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Chris Olave's 73 percent of the snaps and 25 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.
