Should I start James Conner or Zonovan Knight in Week 7?

Updated Oct 20, 7:01 PM ET.

Start Zonovan Knight: he has been on the field this season, 21 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.
