Should I start Nicholas Singleton or Emmett Johnson in Week 7?

Updated Oct 20, 8:36 AM ET.

Start Emmett Johnson: 23 percent of the snaps and 10 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Nicholas Singleton's 12 percent of the snaps and 13 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.
