Should I start Romeo Doubs or Zavion Thomas in Week 8?

Updated Nov 3, 12:21 AM ET.

Start Romeo Doubs: 52 percent of the snaps and 13 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Zavion Thomas's 14 percent of the snaps and 4 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.
