Should I start Omar Cooper or Makai Lemon in Week 7?

Updated Oct 21, 3:11 PM ET.

Start Makai Lemon: 79 percent of the snaps and 18 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Omar Cooper's 43 percent of the snaps and 15 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.
