Should I start Omarion Hampton or Isaac TeSlaa in Week 8?

Updated Oct 29, 1:26 AM ET.

Start Isaac TeSlaa: 57 percent of the snaps and 11 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Omarion Hampton's 38 percent of the snaps and 34 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.

Yes, on the rest of the season. Omarion Hampton projects 66 market-implied PPR points from Week 8 through Week 17 (6.6 a game over 10 games), Isaac TeSlaa 52 (5.2 a game over 10 games).
