Should I start Michael Mayer or Romeo Doubs in Week 7?

Updated Oct 21, 11:46 PM ET.

Start Michael Mayer: 79 percent of the snaps and 16 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Romeo Doubs's 52 percent of the snaps and 13 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.
