Should I start Rhamondre Stevenson or Ollie Gordon in Week 7?

Updated Oct 21, 3:11 PM ET.

Start Ollie Gordon: 71 percent of the snaps and 53 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Rhamondre Stevenson's 66 percent of the snaps and 42 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.

The gap

Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Ollie Gordon, and the board ranks him 119th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

Ollie Gordon's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
