Should I start Christian Watson or Omar Cooper Jr. in Week 10?
Updated Nov 10, 10:01 AM ET. Week 11 answers post Tuesday.
Start Omar Cooper Jr.: 76 percent of the snaps and 18 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Christian Watson's 69 percent of the snaps and 24 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.
