Should I start Jordan James or Malik Davis in Week 8?

Updated Oct 27, 10:11 AM ET.

Start Jordan James: he has been on the field this season, 10 percent of the snaps, and Malik Davis 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.
