Should I start Quinshon Judkins or Jordan Mason in Week 7?

Updated Oct 20, 9:31 PM ET.

Start Quinshon Judkins: 56 percent of the snaps and 64 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Jordan Mason's 45 percent of the snaps and 48 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.
