Should I start KC Concepcion Jr. or Jayden Reed in Week 8?

Updated Oct 27, 3:41 PM ET.

Start KC Concepcion Jr.: 79 percent of the snaps and 29 percent of the targets over their last 2 games, against Jayden Reed's 32 percent of the snaps and 12 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.
