Should I start George Holani or Jonathon Brooks in Week 9?
Updated Nov 3, 6:16 AM ET. Week 10 answers post Tuesday.
Start George Holani: 46 percent of the snaps and 15 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Jonathon Brooks's 25 percent of the snaps and 21 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.
