Should I start KaVontae Turpin or Treylon Burks in Week 7?
Updated Oct 19, 7:51 PM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Start Treylon Burks: 55 percent of the snaps and 11 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against KaVontae Turpin's 21 percent of the snaps and 5 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.
