Updated Oct 19, 7:16 PM ET.

Start Gunnar Helm: 75 percent of the snaps and 6 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Mo Alie-Cox's 42 percent of the snaps and 3 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.
