Start Jaylen Warren: 66 percent of the snaps and 60 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Shedeur Sanders's 37 percent of the snaps and 0 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.
