Should I start Jared Goff or Brian Robinson in Week 7?

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Jared Goff, and the board ranks him 57th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Brian Robinson, and the board ranks him 59th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Jared Goff is 19.4 PPR points a game off 4 markets across 12 market sources. That is 80 percent of what a quarterback's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

The market-based projection for Brian Robinson is 6.6 PPR points a game off 2 markets across 8 market sources. That is 70 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

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