Should I start Efton Chism or Ja'Kobi Lane in Week 6?

Updated Oct 19, 7:16 PM ET.

Start Efton Chism: 50 percent of the snaps and 12 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Ja'Kobi Lane's 40 percent of the snaps and 13 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.
