Should I start Darius Cooper or Jack Bech in Week 7?

Start Darius Cooper: 65 percent of the snaps and 11 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Jack Bech's 36 percent of the snaps and 7 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.
