Should I start Tyrone Tracy Jr. or Kaelon Black in Week 8?
Updated Nov 3, 3:46 AM ET. Week 9 answers post Tuesday.
Start Kaelon Black: 30 percent of the snaps and 35 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Tyrone Tracy Jr.'s 15 percent of the snaps and 18 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.
