Should I start Omar Cooper Jr. or Keon Coleman in Week 8?

Updated Oct 27, 6:11 AM ET.

Start Keon Coleman: he has been on the field this season, 78 percent of the snaps, and Omar Cooper Jr. has no snap on record yet. 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.
