Should I start Roschon Johnson or MarShawn Lloyd in Week 7?

Start MarShawn Lloyd: 46 percent of the snaps and 36 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Roschon Johnson's 28 percent of the snaps and 21 percent of the carries. 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.
