Should I start Roman Wilson or Treylon Burks in Week 7?
Updated Oct 20, 3:51 PM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Start Treylon Burks: 62 percent of the snaps and 15 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Roman Wilson's 34 percent of the snaps and 13 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.
