Should I start Devin Singletary or Tyler Shough in Week 7?

Updated Oct 21, 2:41 PM ET.

Start Tyler Shough: 99 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Devin Singletary's 35 percent of the snaps and 18 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.

The market-based projections

Tyler Shough's market-based projection is 17.2 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 14 market sources. That is the 19th highest figure of the 207 players with a market-based projection.
