Should I start Michael Wilson or Emanuel Wilson in Week 6?
Updated Oct 18, 9:31 PM ET. Week 7 answers post Tuesday.
Start Michael Wilson: 90 percent of the snaps and 28 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Emanuel Wilson's 51 percent of the snaps and 67 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.
