Should I start Emmett Johnson or Isiah Pacheco in Week 6?

Neither man carries a season projection right now, so this is their usage this season and their last full season's numbers, side by side.

Updated Oct 17, 6:11 AM ET.

Neither is in the consensus draft sample any more, and neither of them has a market-based projection this season, so there is no current market order to give between these two. What follows is what each of them has already done.

He carried 118 times for 462 yards and 1 touchdown, and caught 19 of 26 targets for 101 more yards.

Isiah Pacheco is listed as ir on the injury report.
