Start Michael Wilson: 88 percent of the snaps and 18 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Josh Jacobs's 62 percent of the snaps and 71 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.
