Should I start Pierre Strong Jr. or Emmett Johnson in Week 8?

Updated Oct 27, 6:11 AM ET.

Start Pierre Strong Jr.: 49 percent of the snaps and 33 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Emmett Johnson's 28 percent of the snaps and 12 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.
