Should I start Roschon Johnson or Pierre Strong in Week 7?
Updated Oct 20, 12:36 PM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Start Pierre Strong: 49 percent of the snaps and 33 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.
