Should I start Tory Horton or Corey Kiner in Week 7?

Updated Oct 21, 8:31 AM ET.

Start Tory Horton: 29 percent of the snaps and 6 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Corey Kiner's 13 percent of the snaps and 18 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.

Yes, on the rest of the season. Tory Horton projects 33 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (3.3 a game over 10 games), Corey Kiner 17 (1.7 a game over 10 games).
