Should I start Tanner McKee or Daniel Jones in Week 7?

Updated Oct 21, 11:36 AM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.

Tanner McKee and Daniel Jones are too close to call on usage: 100 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets against 100 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games. 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.
