Should I start Isaiah Davis or Jacory Croskey-Merritt in Week 6?
Updated Oct 19, 11:11 PM ET. Week 7 answers post Tuesday.
Start Jacory Croskey-Merritt: 46 percent of the snaps and 48 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Isaiah Davis's 12 percent of the snaps and 5 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.
