Should I start Kimani Vidal or James Conner in Week 7?

Updated Oct 20, 7:01 PM ET.

Start Kimani Vidal: he has been on the field this season, 38 percent of the snaps, and James Conner 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.
