Should I start Zachariah Branch or Garrett Wilson in Week 7?

Updated Oct 20, 2:26 PM ET.

Start Garrett Wilson: 96 percent of the snaps and 29 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Zachariah Branch's 25 percent of the snaps and 7 percent of the targets. 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.
