Should I start Jacob Saylors or Jonah Coleman in Week 7?

Updated Oct 20, 12:36 PM ET.

Start Jonah Coleman: 25 percent of the snaps and 26 percent of the carries over their last 2 games, against Jacob Saylors's 3 percent of the snaps and 0 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.
