Should I start Pierre Strong Jr. or Tony Pollard in Week 10?

Updated Nov 10, 9:36 PM ET.

Start Tony Pollard: 78 percent of the snaps and 81 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Pierre Strong Jr.'s 23 percent of the snaps and 12 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.
