Should I start Jordan Mason or Emanuel Wilson in Week 7?

Updated Oct 21, 3:51 PM ET.

Start Emanuel Wilson: 48 percent of the snaps and 66 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Jordan Mason's 45 percent of the snaps and 48 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.
