Should I start Keon Coleman or Kevin Coleman Jr. in Week 9?
Updated Nov 3, 6:16 AM ET. Week 10 answers post Tuesday.
Start Keon Coleman: 78 percent of the snaps and 19 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Kevin Coleman Jr.'s 15 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.
