Should I start Dameon Pierce or Hunter Henry in Week 7?

Updated Oct 20, 6:16 AM ET.

Start Dameon Pierce: 77 percent of the snaps and 61 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Hunter Henry's 66 percent of the snaps and 11 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.
