Should I start Isiah Pacheco or Tyrone Tracy Jr. in Week 8?

Updated Nov 3, 3:46 AM ET.

Start Tyrone Tracy Jr.: he has been on the field this season, 15 percent of the snaps, and Isiah Pacheco has no snap on record yet. 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.
