Start Michael Wilson: 84 percent of the snaps and 26 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Jordan Watkins's 76 percent of the snaps and 12 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.
