Should I start Tyler Warren or Chris Rodriguez Jr. in Week 10?

Updated Nov 10, 2:46 PM ET.

Start Tyler Warren: 84 percent of the snaps and 25 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Chris Rodriguez Jr.'s 34 percent of the snaps and 26 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.
