Should I start DJ Moore or Jordan Watkins in Week 10?

Updated Nov 10, 3:21 PM ET.

Start Jordan Watkins: 76 percent of the snaps and 12 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against DJ Moore's 57 percent of the snaps and 21 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.
