Should I start Keon Coleman or Zavion Thomas in Week 7?
Updated Oct 20, 6:11 AM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Start Keon Coleman: 65 percent of the snaps and 15 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Zavion Thomas's 10 percent of the snaps and 2 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.
