Should I start Wan'Dale Robinson or Ja'Kobi Lane in Week 8?

Updated Oct 27, 12:26 PM ET.

Start Wan'Dale Robinson: 65 percent of the snaps and 23 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Ja'Kobi Lane's 54 percent of the snaps and 15 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.
