Should I start Omar Cooper Jr. or Ted Hurst III in Week 7?

Updated Oct 21, 11:06 PM ET.

Start Omar Cooper Jr.: 43 percent of the snaps and 15 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Ted Hurst III's 45 percent of the snaps and 10 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.
