Should I start Davante Adams or Tory Horton in Week 7?

Updated Oct 21, 8:31 AM ET.

Start Davante Adams: 82 percent of the snaps and 15 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Tory Horton's 29 percent of the snaps and 6 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.

The market-based projections
