Should I start Zach Charbonnet or Quinshon Judkins in Week 7?

Updated Oct 20, 7:36 PM ET.

Start Quinshon Judkins: he has been on the field this season, 56 percent of the snaps, and Zach Charbonnet has no snap on record yet. 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.
