Should I start Jonathon Brooks or Mike Washington Jr. in Week 8?

Updated Nov 3, 3:06 AM ET.

Start Mike Washington Jr.: 26 percent of the snaps and 35 percent of the carries over their last 2 games, against Jonathon Brooks's 25 percent of the snaps and 21 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.
