Should I start Kevin Coleman or Tim Patrick in Week 7?

Updated Oct 20, 4:41 AM ET.

Start Tim Patrick: 93 percent of the snaps and 10 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Kevin Coleman's 60 percent of the snaps and 19 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.
