I would probably roll the dice on both. If you are not prepared to back them to beat 82 then I would be trading them out.
If I was to forced to choose to pick one based on expectation of output I would probably bench Dev (note I own both).
However in a genuine 50/50 I would generally bench the one to play last so you minimise the risk of a late out giving you a doughnut.

From ABC website. Hooking up Rd 13 game with the next set of fixtures.
"While the Eagles have been racking up the wins and the acclaim at home, coach Adam Simpson has always been quick to warn that the other fixturing shoe was going to drop at some stage. He wasn't joking.
After their final home game in round 13 against GWS, the Eagles have just four days to up and move back to the Gold Coast for a Thursday-night game against Richmond.
The Eagles knew their fixture squeeze was coming, and it certainly has arrived.(AAP: Darren England)
Then there's Essendon off a five-day break, the Bulldogs off a five-day break and St Kilda off another four-day break. That's five games in 18 days for West Coast, a significant test after a comfortable stretch at home.
There's a chance then that the Giants game will be the last the Eagles play in WA for the season, depending on how finals are to be scheduled and where the grand final is sent.
All of the Eagles' Queensland games are night matches too, something that will become a factor if they struggle to handle the slippery conditions as they did in their first stint. In short, if the Eagles are to go all the way this year, they certainly will have earned it."

Full explainer coming soon but if you need to know before trading tonight R14-16 will follow the same KFC #supercoach rules as previous 2020 bye rounds - best 18 scoring and 3 trades per round (added to season total)
