Should I start Samaje Perine or Kenneth Walker in Week 10?

Updated Nov 10, 11:16 AM ET.

Start Kenneth Walker: 74 percent of the snaps and 79 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Samaje Perine's 33 percent of the snaps and 31 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.

Yes, on the rest of the season. Kenneth Walker projects 157 market-implied PPR points from Week 10 through Week 17 (19.6 a game over 8 games), Samaje Perine 47 (5.9 a game over 8 games).
