Should I start Jakobi Meyers or Ollie Gordon II in Week 10?

Updated Nov 10, 1:21 PM ET.

Start Ollie Gordon II: 79 percent of the snaps and 72 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Jakobi Meyers's 66 percent of the snaps and 23 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.
