Should I start Marvin Harrison Jr. or Quentin Johnston in Week 9?
Updated Nov 3, 12:56 PM ET. Week 10 answers post Tuesday.
Start Quentin Johnston: 80 percent of the snaps and 9 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Marvin Harrison Jr.'s 21 percent of the snaps and 14 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.
