Should I start Austin Ekeler or Jadarian Price in Week 10?

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Austin Ekeler, and the board ranks him 37th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Jadarian Price, and the board ranks him 154th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

Austin Ekeler's market-based projection is 6.5 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 14 market sources. That is the 31st highest figure of the 208 players with a market-based projection.

The market-based projection for Jadarian Price is 2.8 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Jadarian Price's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.

Their 2025 seasons

Head to head

This season Jadarian Price holds the bigger share of the carries, 37 percent against 21 percent.

Byes and availability

Austin Ekeler is off in Week 7 and Jadarian Price in Week 11, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

Jadarian Price has only a partial projection, so the market half of this page is whole for only one of them.
