  • : Keenan Allen: IND to SF (Sleeper injury feed)

Start Omar Cooper Jr.: 76 percent of the snaps and 18 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Keenan Allen's 54 percent of the snaps and 22 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.
