Should I start Jeremiyah Love or Sione Vaki in Week 7?
Updated Oct 22, 12:51 AM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Start Jeremiyah Love: 54 percent of the snaps and 66 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Sione Vaki's 27 percent of the snaps and 16 percent of the carries. 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.
