Should I start Sean Tucker or Sione Vaki in Week 7?

Updated Oct 23, 4:56 AM ET.

Start Sione Vaki: 27 percent of the snaps and 16 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Sean Tucker's 5 percent of the snaps and 9 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.
