Should I start Dameon Pierce or Jordan Mason in Week 7?

Updated Oct 21, 9:46 AM ET.

Start Dameon Pierce: 87 percent of the snaps and 74 percent of the carries over their last 2 games, against Jordan Mason's 45 percent of the snaps and 48 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.
